A drive plate is a plate that is mounted on the spindle nose and used to hold and drive a workpiece. It has specially designed slots or holes to accommodate the pins or bolts on the workpiece, ensuring accurate and secure attachment. Steady rests are used to support long workpieces and prevent deflection, while drawtubes are part of the spindle and used for chuck or collet attachment. Indexable tool posts are used to hold and position cutting tools.
