South Bend SB1079 Metal Lathe Accessories Follow Rest X41 New

The South Bend SB1079 X41 follow rest is a metal lathe accessory made to support long, slender workpieces during machining. Mounted to the carriage, it travels with the cutting tool to help keep the work steady as operations are performed.

Its adjustable jaws help prevent the material from deflecting upward or downward during cutting, improving rigidity and supporting more accurate results. This makes it especially useful for threading and other precision work on long, flexible shafts.

Designed for users of compatible Big Bore lathes, this follow rest is a practical addition for machinists who need better control when working with narrow stock that can bend under cutting pressure. It fits models SB1070F and SB1071F.
