Apparatus for machining end housings

Apparatus for machining the end walls of slant axis rotary mechanisms, comprising:

• a base;
• a support pivoted on said base for rotation about a first axis;
• a shaft journalled on said support for rotation about a second axis nonparallel to said first axis;
• a work holder carried by said shaft for receiving a housing element of a slant axis rotary mechanism to have an end wall machined thereon;
• a cutting tool;
• means mounting said tool adjacent said work holder for reciprocation across said work holder to provide generally radially extending machine marks on an end wall received on said work holder;
• means for rotating said shaft;
• and
• cam means rotated by said shaft and engageable with cam following means supported by said base for oscillating said support about said first axis in timed relation to the rotation of said shaft, whereby a housing element will be rotated and oscillated against said tool to machine an end wall thereon.
