Abstract

An apparatus for grinding particularly a crankshaft is proposed, the apparatus having a workpiece headstock and a tailstock with, in each case, a bearing, which is disposed in the extension of the crankshaft axis and is intended to accommodate the crankshaft at its axial end points. Moreover, the workpiece headstock and the tailstock each have a spike, in which the crankshaft is mounted and fixed free of axial pressure.
