I always try and have the follower on the fresh cut material. But it is a 2 way thing. The chips can easily get in the way.Its a pain, but running a vacuum cleaner to draw away the chips works really well. I put my compound on an angle, Normally 30 deg, so that the value on the cross slide, now becomes the diameter of the cut. But it gets worse as you have to reset or bring into the job the steady. I find that the Myford travelling steady often just gets in the way. Sometimes it is also easier to cut a longer blank, to give room for the tools etc, and then set up and cut the excess off later whenthe end detail is being finished,It is small jobs like this that I think I should make up a roller box.But like you have just persevered and made do with what was available at the time.Neil
