Abstract
A belt driven feed assembly having a plurality of floating passive pinch wheels and a plurality of floating drive wheels, staggered and offset from one another, for conveying flat stock having irregular upper and lower surfaces. The drive and pinch wheels coact with one another and the belt to vertically center the flat stock relative to a stationary milling assembly, whereby irregularities in the upper and lower surfaces are removed so as to obtain finished flat stock with relatively smooth and parallel upper and lower surfaces.
