A work holder capable of holding a work piece having a generally arcuate circumferential body portion, to give location, baring, and rotating support to said body portion while presenting another body portion of said work piece for grinding and like operations. The invention device features simplified and improved holding means including unique roller modules which per se incorporate their drive means and have simple means adapting them to mount various size work pieces without loss of efficiency. It also provides a continuous drive system for such modules distinguished by precision control means affording a maximum use of applied power. It is further characterized by the application of O-rings to at least one roller module in a manner to exert a balanced and positive rotative influence to the workpiece. Means are provided to precisely reference a work piece to a cutting tool and to simply induce an angular disposition of or apply an axial driving force to a work piece during a cutting operation.
