  • Patent number: 8562391
    Abstract: A finishing machine with at least two finishing stones and a stone turning unit is proposed, in which the stone turning unit may be coupled to a rotary drive of the workpiece holder. A separate drive for the stone turning unit may thus be omitted, which results in a reduced weight of the stone turning unit and therefore lower drive power requirement of the stone turning unit and an improved processing quality.
