Abstract

A belt grinder for grinding a rotating non-circular work piece includes three rotatable rolls around which an abrasive belt moves. The rolls are arranged in a triangular manner with one of the rolls being the work roll which is slidably mounted toward and away from the workpiece. Resilient means applies a force to urge the work roll in the direction of the workpiece with the force increasing as the work roll moves toward the axis of the workpiece.
