Abstract: A workpiece support apparatus, which may be adjustable, for mounting on a base to facilitate the handling of long or unwiedly stock or other workpieces advancing from a processing station. The support apparatus includes a workpiece engaging member having an upper planar surface which extends generally laterally with respect to a travel path of a free end of a workpiece advancing from a processing station. The engaging member is pivotally supported in the travel path with the planar surface inclined toward the processing station. The planar surface is yieldingly biased into the inclined position, whereby the free end of a workpiece engages the inclined surface to overcome the bias and pivot the engaging member to a substantially horizontal position. When the workpiece is removed, the engaging member is biased back into the inclined position.
