Abstract
A peeling machine through which a rod workpiece is moved along a main axis has an upstream guide and a downstream guide centering the workpiece on the axis and axially flanking a rotary scraper engaging the workpiece. The upstream guide has a plurality of supports angularly spaced about the axis and respective holders displaceable in the supports along respective holder axes extending radially of the axis and having respective centering elements engaging the workpiece radially of the main axis. Respective biasing units braced between the holders and the supports elastically press the elements against the workpiece radially of the main axis Respective brake elements in the supports engage radially of the holder axes against the holders and are pressed radially of the holder axes against the holders so as to rub on the holders and damp vibration in the workpiece.
