The machine comprises a work- piece carrying plate (1) and a tool (7). The plate is mounted to be rotatable about a first axis (X-X) constituting the main axis of the toric groove to be machined or ground and pivotable about a second axis (Y-Y) orthogonal to the first axis and intersecting the centre (O) of an elementary section of the toric groove. The tool is a disc having a main plane which contains the second axis. Devices (34, 37-39 and 35) are provided for driving the disc in rotation about its axis of revolution and in translation in a direction F defined by a straight line which is perpendicular both to the axis of revolution of the tool and to the second axis. The axis of rotation and the pivot axis of the plate are strictly fixed relative to each other. <IMAGE> |
