An improved drive chain for a machine tool such as honing device comprising a machine tool with at least one radially movable work engaging assembly thereon, a power train operatively connected to the honing device to rotate same, and a feed motor positioned in the power chain and rotatable therewith, the feed motor being operatively connected to a power source and to the machine tool whereby energization of the feed motor changes the radial positions of the work engaging assemblies on the honing device. The invention also resides in the rotatable power chain with a motor mounted therein, novel electric contacts for introducing energy to the rotating motor and a novel control circuit for supplying power from the power source to the feed motor.
