Abstract
A grinding machine with a high production rate for pre-pointing drill bodies and the like in automatic duty cycles wherein separate grinding heads and a chuck head are respectively shiftable to and from a working position to grind both ends of the drill body simultaneously. The chuck head includes a special through-feeding rotary chuck which is journalled at its periphery and through which the work pieces are loaded and unloaded sequentially and unidirectionally by a fast-acting loading plunger advancing rapidly in an initial portion of its loading stroke, with completion at a slowed rate for accurate lodgement of the drill bodies with both ends precisely positioned for engagement by the grinding wheels.
