Abstract
A precision rotating rod guide for damping the vibrations of an axially moving, rotating rod as it passes through a work station which comprises a pair of duplicate guide members on each side of a work station. Each of the guide members include three coacting ball casters equidistantly angularly disposed about the axis of a rod passing through the guide members thereby damping the vibrations imparted to the rotating axially moving rod at the work station.
