Abstract

The present machine tool comprises a grinding wheel rotatably mounted on a machine bed. A feed advance is movably mounted on the bed, and carries a vertical frame. Head and tail stocks are mounted in the vertical arms of the frame, for supporting a work piece to be moved with the feed advance table into engagement with the grinding wheel. The frame is angularly displaceable on the feed advance table about a vertical axis, to enable variation of the direction of feed with respect to the axis of a work piece mounted between the head and tail stocks.
