ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for conically machining an optical fiber connector is disclosed which comprises a grinding wheel rotated at high speed, an optical fiber connector having end portion whose machining end face is confronted with the grinding wheel, and having an optical fiber along the central axis thereof, a supporting member for supporting the optical fiber connector, which supporting member is swingable towards the grinding surface of said grinding wheel, a driver for swinging the supporting member to cause the optical fiber connector to abut against the grinding wheel, a moving unit for linearly moving the grinding wheel along the axis of rotation of the grinding wheel until the machining end face of the optical fiber connector is shifted from the grinding wheel, a reference surface juxtaposed with said grinding wheel, to set said optical fiber connector, and a reciprocating rotation unit for rotating the optical fiber connector in a reciprocation mode through at least 360.degree. with the optical fiber at the center of rotation.
