A method of and apparatus for effecting combined surface finishing operations for a cup for tapered roller bearings. The apparatus will accept cups of random sizes, will automatically load them onto an indexing mechanism, index the cups through necessary work stations, and discharge the surface-finished cups. At the surface finishing station, a drive roller frictionally engages the cup and rotates it while a plurality of brushes are brought into engagement with the surfaces to be finished. The brushes are rotated in a direction which results in a force component which tends to hold the cup within the open pockets of the indexing mechanism. The brushes are also wear compensating so that the apparatus will operate without an attendant and without requiring a preliminary set-up or changing of parts for different sizes of bearing cups.
