Machining with follow rest Axelson lathe

Machining on the follow rest, then machining with the follow rest as was done in earlier times before the "Shake n Bake" machinist of today by actually grinding a special carbide tool done quickly like a professional on a cutter grinder to suit this job not relying on carbide inserts or Gomer Pyle methods dreamed up by the frauds on the US internet machinist web sites that machine only in their minds and do unspeakable things with their hands, Just my opinion spoke with a certain grin of a millwright.
This follow rest is an early aftermarket part made to fit a variety of lathes using its wide adjustments but is much lighter than Monarch or Axelson factory attachments that are way over built to handle this 3/8" O1 "oil hardening drill rod" also this design was for a lantern tool post not a tool block. One may find the most common quick change tool post may not be the best for use with many types of follow rest. I will actually get into jewelers lathe work reducing and threading techniques a plate with a hole in it for even smaller follow rest work on this in good running condition 80 yr. old 5000lb Axelson heavy duty gear head screw cutting engine lathe originally owned by the Foote-Burt machine tool company Cleveland Ohio.
