In the drawings, 10 is a polishing wheel adapted to polishthe heels of boots and shoes after the preliminary trimming and burnishing operations have 2 taken place. The polishing wheel 10 is mounted upon 'a shaft 11, which may be rotatablymounted in suitable bearings (not shown) and driven by a pulley andbelt (not shown).' The shaft 11 is provided with a bore 12 extending longitudinally thereof, said bore terminating'in a shoulder 13 at the right hand end thereof. The shaft 11 is also provided with, a bore 14 extending longitudinally thereof, said bore being smaller in'dialneter A than the bore 12, A rod 15 .is mounted within the shaft 11 and comprises a cylindrical portion 16 which closely fits the recess 14 of the shaft 11. .The ro 1'5'also cont V prises a tapered extension 17 which is of smaller diameter than the recess 12 and is.

adapted to yield laterally. therein. The

tapered extension- 17 terminates in a vided with a recess'23 and a reduced section extending therefrom. A milling disk 25 is rotatably'mouiited upon thereduced section 24 and has a laterally ex-' tended hub partly within the recess 23, the

The cap 2.1 closely conto turn on. the hub independently ;of the polishing wheel. 7, Said disk 25 is provided on its periphery with a continuous series of serrations 26 adapted to mill a heeli or imprint upon the heel the line or row of in- The milling disk is arranged to form the line of indentations around the upper portionof the heel at a short distance from its top end, as shown in Figs. 2and 3.

A rand guide having a lip 27 to enter the rand crease 31 between the upper and the top of the heel is mounted upon the outerend of the rod 15 which is free or unconfined 'so that'the guide can move radially with relation to the milling disk in anv d1- recti'on according to the direction of the pressure of the heel against it. The guide is located adjacent to the cap 21 of the polishing wheel 10, and is provided with. a recess 28 which permits its lateral movement with relationto the milling disk 25 and also the polishing wheel 10. The guide 27 is also provided with a polishing face 29' adaptedto polish'for bead thetop face of the heel which forms the lower wall of the rand crease, the other wall of which crease is formed by the adjacent portion of the upper, it being understood that the word heel is used in a general senseand ineludes thatportion of the sole of the shoe" which intervenes between the heel proper and the upper. The rod 15 acts to hold the rand guide 27 "normallyconcentric with the polishing wheel 10, but the tapered extension 17 thereof is adapted to yield and permit the guide to move in a direction substantially at right angles to the axis of the shaft 11 or radially with relation to the r milling disk. 4 I In the use of the finishing tool the operator presents the shoe in position for the rand guide toenter'the rand crease,'pressing the heel against the tool until the rand guide bottoms in orrea'ohes the bottom of the rand crease where it contacts with both the upper and lower walls of the'crease and firmly positions the shoelaterally'with'relation to the milling disk. The pressure is continued, the rand guide yielding, until the heel is forced firmly against the milling rotate in rolling contact with the heel, to

make a row or line of indentations alone the edge of the heel. In t! is movement of the shoe the heel .is guided with relation to;

the milling disk by, .the rand guide shallow portion. Alsotheindentationsmay iftbaaela I 1, clai i l "minim-9*" my'invention', what by f 1 'f-Paten't wee- "1.

The} relation of the guide and the milling disk to the work-as the rand crease varies 'ini depth is illustrated in Figs. 2 and Referring to Figs. 4 and 5 in whichjthe" periphery of the guide 27 and the periphery of the polishing wheel 10 are indicated by circles, it will be seen that the rand crease 31 varies in depth from a to b (Fig. t) and thata pressure suflicientto cause-a yielding of the rod 15 will "result in the peripheryof the guide remaining incontae't with the bot-' tom of .the crease and also in thejperiphery of the milling disk remaining in "contact 80 with the heel throughoutthe 'e'ntire operation, whereas in Fig. 5 the rand crease 3'1 is constant in depth from "a to b and is of maximum de th, in which casethe rod 15 will not yie'l but the rand guide will re- 85 main in contact with the bottom ofthe randv crease from a to b, andthe millin disk'will remain in uniform contact with't e heel throughout the operation, It will thus be. seen that the guide which ismade large 40 enough in diameter to bottom in 'rand' creases of maximum depth, is adapted .to yield and; accommodate itself to, creases, of minimum depth without disturbing therelat-ion of the? milling disk 25 and the polishin wheel to the heel. Consequently the gui e, thepe riphery of which is always in contact-with, the bottom of the rand crease 31, cannot move from side to sidein the depression. It will be evident that this construction provides for the accurate and certain guidinglof the heel withrelation to thefinishing too While the invention is herein shown as,
