ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for successively presenting new edges of a tool for application against a rotating member being machined. The tool has an annular edge which is forced against a rotating member, by emplacement in the distal end of a movable arm. The arm has a ratchet mechanism into which the tool is secured. The ratchet mechanism rotates the tool on the end of the arm to advance a new edge thereof, against the member being machined. The ratchet is activated by an indexing piston which causes the ratchet and tool associated therewith, to rotate with respect to the member being machined, to present a proper edge thereagainst, minimizing machine down-time for tool adjustment and repair.
