🔍 Key Concepts

• Follower rest vs. steady rest: where each is mounted and what they support • How long slender workpieces behave under cutting forces on a lathe • What is meant by work mounted on the carriage and when that setup is used

💭 Think About

• Think about which accessory actually moves with the cutting tool and why that matters for supporting certain kinds of workpieces • Ask yourself: which of these options describes a situation where deflection (bending) of the work from cutting pressure is a serious problem? • Consider which device is normally fixed to the bed near the headstock, and which one travels with the carriage to support the work right at the cutting point

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which type of rest is attached to and travels with the carriage rather than fixed to the bed • Decide in which option the work most needs support directly behind the cutting tool to prevent chatter and bending • Eliminate any options that actually describe uses for a steady rest or for normal turning without special supports
