The motor is driven by pressure fluid delivered thereto througha pipe 15. The work 16 is mounted in a *well' known way upon the traverse carriage in p0 sition to be moved to grinding position before an abrasive wheel 17. The work rest (1011-, 'sists of a back rest bracket'18, secured upon the-base of the machine, A slidable member 19 carrying a Work engaging jaw 20 is moved toward and from working position by means of a pinion 21 engaging the rack teeth 22- on the lower part of the slide 19. 7 A small pinion 23 is connected to the large pinion 21 and is driven by means of rackteeth 24: on a piston rod 25. The piston rod carries on its lower end a piston 26which moves in a cylinder27.

A reversing valve 30'admits pressure fluid selectively below or above the piston 26 to move the work engaging vjaw lto operative position, or withdraw it from operative position.

Connected with a chamber above-the pis- 7 ton 26 in the cylinder 27 is a pipe35. This pipeconnects with a by-pass valve shown as a whole at 36, and which forms the control or safety feature of the invention. The details of this valve will now be described:
I The valve comprises a valve casing37 having'a double piston 38 and 39 reciprocably mounted in a bore therein. The piston 39 is longer than the piston 38, and is provided with a flange 40 which engages a shoulder in the cylinder valve body to limit the movement of the valve in one direction. A cap 41 is screwed intothe end of the valve casing and has a hole 42 therethrough, into which is threaded a-connection on the pipe 35. A53
