Re: CNC Lathes, follow rests, and mass production...

As stated, this could be dangerous. A follow rest only contacts the
material in two places and should basically be used with a center in
the tail stock. Might be possible to do if you could modify it to be
more like a steady with three point contact. I would be tempted to
just stick out enough material to run a few parts at a time.
Just my 2 cents.
