Question

When turning long shaft on a lathe, its bending can be prevented by:

A.

Running the shaft at low speed

B.

Using high speed

C.

Using sturdy machine

D.

Using steady rest

Answer ( Option D)

Using steady rest

Solution

●Steady rests and follower rests were developed as a remedy for the lathe turning deflection problem. Steady rests and follower rests hold a long work piece steady during turning.

●Steady rests are mounted to the lathe bed and do not move with the lathe.They ensure concentricity, but limit the length of the supporting cut.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
