Abstract

A device for retaining a workpiece in either a stationary or movable position for use in a machine which incorporates an off-balance indicator such as a strobe light and which is used to remove imbalance. The device selectively holds the tool in a first fixed stationary position for performing work operations thereon or releases the tool to allow it to oscillate so as to enable balancing operations to be carried out.
