.Mountedon' the' bar' 1l is a rotatable sleeve 10, havingitsterminal,Within,the annular. -liangejQ 'enlarged as lshown at 11=to snugly itthe. interior thereofand to rotatetherein. The periphery of the venlargement 11 -is Vformed Witha ball' rac'eivaylQ, and the ini te'rior of thefflangej) with aI raceWay 13 opposite thereto.'

The outer face of the enlargement 11 is also formed with an annular raceway 15 and the circular'liange 8 with a raceivayl oppositeto and corresponding with -said raceway 15. 17 indicates anti-friction bearings mounted in raceivays 15 and 1d.

In use it will be understood that my improved grinding machine is Vheld by the sleeve 10 While in operative position, and antifrictional bearings 14 and 17 relieving the friction rotatorily and the thrust, the machine being adapted for grinding either on the -periphery of the disk or itsouter .i

surface as desired, and by' the peculiar construction thereof and its adaptability to be secured to a Flexible shaft, provision is made for grinding edge tools Whiley in place in their mountings, such as. the cutter blades onl the sickle bars of lmowing machines, horseshoe calks on the animals hoofs, and the like.

For the purpose of assembling and dismembering the bar and sleeve I provide the flange 9 with a threaded opening 18 through which the bearing members 14 may b'e re-l moved and replaced, and close said opening by means ofa threaded plug 19 havmg its inner terminal formed with a semicircular 'groove 2O that forms a part of the raceway 13 when in position. 1n dismembering the sleeve 10 and bar 1 the plug 19 is removed from the opening 18 and the bearing members 14.- dumped from the casing therethrough. The sleeve may then be removed from the casing and the bearing members 17- also removed therefrom. In replacing the sleeve the bearing members 17 are rst placed in the raceway 16 in the casing when the bar 1 is in an upright position. The v11a sleeve lO is then placed on the liar and lowered into pcsitioii so that the enlargement. 1L is Within the casing. The bar is then turned on its side with the opening '1S uppermost and the hearing members 14insertedthrough the opening into the raeeivays, 1'2 and The. plug 19 is then `aerewed intnposition.v and the device is in position for uae.

Having thus deeribed in v invention what. I claiinis:
