A locking mechanism as shown in the figure for the contouring head assembly (108 ) of a belt grinding machine that employs multiple, parallel, abrasive grinding belts (62, 64; 66, 68; etc.) and back-up s hoes (254) for pressing the belts against the surfaces on a workpiece to be ground. The locking mechanism secures the contouri ng head assembly (108) to the bed of the grinding machine. The locking mechanism includes a protrusion, such as a ball (256) that is carried by the contouring head assembly (108) and a pivotable arm (156) is secured to a shaft (151) that is driven by a rotary actuator, that is powered by a hydraulic motor (150). The socket (266) engages the protrusion (256) to securely support one sid e of the contouring feed assembly. A hydraulic cylinder (158) forces a tapered plunger (258) against the pivotable arm (156) to enhance the locking action.
