Abstract

A universal surface polishing assembly movable along the longitudinal axis of a workpiece including a pair of polishing arms with a surface grinding material affixed to each end of the polishing arms respectively, a regulated cylinder for actuating the polishing arms onto the machine component bearing surface, and a pair of stabilizing plates located directly adjacent the polishing arms for stabilizing the polishing arms during the microfinishing operation. The surface polishing assembly is designed to be adapted to various machines having means for workpiece rotation such as grinders, lathes, mills etc. Many different machine components that require microfinishing of various bearing surfaces can be finished in the present invention due to the manual indexing ability inherent in the slidable polishing assembly.
