Abstract

A grinding and polishing machine (11) which includes a grinding section (15), a polishing section (17), a fixture (19) and a fixture bearing assembly (21). Fiber optic termini (169) are retained in the fixture (19) so that distal ends (185) of optical fibers (177) and end faces (181) can be ground by a grinding abrasive (80) and polished by a polishing abrasive (91). The distal ends (185) and the end faces (181) prevent contact between the fixture (19) and the grinding abrasive (80) and the polishing abrasive (91).
