Abstract
A machining apparatus has a machine frame having a vertical front wall and a pair of vertical side walls extending generally perpendicularly rearwardly from the front wall and a cross slide vertically displaceable on the front wall. A first holder is horizontally displaceable on the cross slide, and respective carriages horizontally displaceable generally perpendicular to the front wall on the side walls carry a mount between and pivotal in the carriages about a horizontal axis generally parallel to the front wall. A second holder is carried on the mount. One of the holders is adapted to hold and rotate a workpiece and the other of the holders to hold a tool. A drive is connected to both of the carriages for synchronously displacing same and thereby aligning the workpiece in the one holder with the tool in the other holder.
