Title: Planetary grinder and polisher

Abstract: A machine particularly useful for continuously descaling wire and finishing tubular products. The basic machine incorporates a heavy, circular planetary mounting plate having a pair of independently driven finishing brush wheels, mounted thereon which rotate in enagement with the wire being finished and at the same time are rotated in an orbit about the wire by rotation of the planetary mounting plate. The planetary mounting plate is belt driven from an electric motor. The pair of finishing brushes are belt driven from a second electric motor and are provided with an additional outboard mount so that relatively longer wheels may be used. The brushes may be syncronously adjusted with respect to the workpiece without interrupting operation of the machine. Adjustable wire guide and support means are disposed adjacent the bight of the wheels to properly position the workpiece while it is being engaged by the finishing wheels.
