Abstract: A workpiece positioner including a pair of generally vertical laterally displaced and opposing workpiece holder supports and a pair of workpiece holders. Each the pair of workpiece holders includes a first and second workpiece holder which are operably associated with one of the workpiece holder supports such that the opposing first workpiece holders are generally coaxially aligned and the second workpiece holders are generally coaxially aligned and the workpiece holders rotate about a first generally horizontal common axis with respect to the vertical workpiece holder supports, the first workpiece holders and the second workpiece holders, respectively, are disposed at least partially on an opposite side of a plane which runs generally perpendicular to the vertical workpiece holder support and through the horizontal common axis.
