Yup, first time I used my steady rest I found this and it made everything make sense and go much easier. I did run into an issue on the steady rest itself, the fingers were not moving well so I had to so call overhauls the steady rest. Now the fingers move easily.

Anyone have some good illustrated tips on using a steady rest? Step by step from the very beginning?

?

I have tried but never got it really centered.

I think you can also use emery cloth turned inside out.

Good suggestions, thanks. I did some reading/watching just now and well-oiled emery cloth inside-out, with the cloth sliding on the workpiece was one solution. I think a bushing of some kind, clamped to the work -in a non-marring way - might be the solution for delicate workpieces like anodized or blued pieces. Gunsmiths deal with this issue when working on blued rifle barrels.
A lot of the machinist comments online mentioned bearings marring the work because it was easy for metal particles to get rolled on to the workpiece, so that's something to protect against with some sort of shield.,
