For proper support when turning a long thin piece of work between lathe centers, you should use a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) steady rest.
For a long, thin workpiece turning between lathe centers, a steady rest should be used to provide additional support and prevent the workpiece from flexing or vibrating. The steady rest helps stabilize the workpiece and keep it properly aligned during the turning operation.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a compound rest is used for positioning the cutting tool, not supporting the workpiece; B) a draw-in collet chuck is used for holding the workpiece, not providing additional support; and D) a faceplate is used for holding irregular-shaped workpieces, not providing support for long, thin pieces.
