A support for a grinding wheel or other rotary element used for conditioning workpieces, has the wheel arbor supported upon vertically shiftable support members, so that the distance between the lowermost, work engaging area of the wheel can be adjusted in respect to an underlying platen. In one form, slide blocks carry rotary idlers in tangential contact with diametrically opposite areas of the wheel, to sense wear of the wheel's periphery. As the wheel wears, the slide blocks gravitate to lower positions, to cause the wheel to be vertically adjusted downwardly to an extent that will maintain the distance between the bottom of the grinding wheel and the platen at a constant value. In a second form, an idler actuates an assemblage of links and levers that include the support members, to effect the downward vertical adjustment of the wheel.
