Awork mounted on the lathe carriage
Blarge diameter stock between centers
Cthreads on long slender shafts
Dround stock to a finished dimension
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) threads on long slender shafts. A follower rest is used to support long, slender workpieces on a lathe in order to prevent them from deflecting or vibrating during the machining process, particularly when cutting threads. This is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the threaded portion of the workpiece. The other answer choices do not specifically require the use of a follower rest for the given machining operations.
