ABSTRACT:
A tool is disclosed for precisely grinding or polishing the surface of a workpiece, such as the mating end face of a fiber optic ferrule. The tool utilizes a planar grinding wheel which is caused to rotate and simultaneously shift transversely in the plane in which it lies by the use of an eccentric driving connection to the wheel and gear teeth on the outer surface of the wheel and gear teeth on the interior of the chamber in which the wheel is mounted. Such movement of the wheel causes the workpiece to be ground in multiple directions across its face.
