Abstract: This machine is designed for dressing fixed-super-abrasive tools employed in the grinding and polishing of optical and ophthalmic lenses having a toric surface configuration. It comprises a base with an upstanding frame having an arm pivotally supported thereon for at least limited vertical arc-like oscillatory movement about the horizontal axis. A workpiece holder assembly suitable for holding the fixed-super-abrasive tool is releasably securable to the arm and movable along the arm to any predetermined position relative to the horizontal axis whereby the workpiece in the workpiece holder assembly is vertically oscillated at a preselected radius. The base also includes a grinder support bed both horizontally movable with respect thereto and controllably rotatable about a vertical axis through at least a limited horizontal arc.
