CNC Lathe: Finishing Cylinder End Faces with a Steady Rest

This is a free image of a CNC lathe finishing the end face of a cylinder using a steady rest.

The workpiece is a difficult-to-cut material with a threaded hole and a keyway on the surface. For this reason, we had to dismantle the setup for the inner diameter work, reposition the steady rest near the end face, and increase the rigidity of the machining surface before the cut.
