Abstract
A machine for contouring a workpiece, and more particularly the periphery of the workpiece, includes an oscillating table with two workpiece holding fixtures mounted to the table at two locations spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the distance through which the table oscillates. The workpiece holding fixtures rotates the workpieces about a fixed position axis. A single workpiece cutting tool is located next to the oscillating table for contouring the periphery of the workpieces in each of the workpiece holding fixtures as the oscillating table moves each workpiece holding fixture into position adjacent to the workpiece cutting table.
