Patent ID: 8408973

Claim:
A finishing apparatus for finish machining of rotationally symmetric workpiece surfaces having a finish belt guide which has a guiding body for guiding the finish belt, wherein the guiding body comprises a shell-shaped guiding surface along which the finish belt can be guided or is guided between an insertion end of the finish belt and a withdrawal end of the finish belt, wherein the guiding surface is mounted in a resiliently elastic manner in the radial direction, characterized in that, when seen in a circumferential direction, the guiding surface extends in a continuous manner between the insertion end of the finish belt and the withdrawal end of the finish belt over at least a part of the width of said guiding surface and is mounted in a resiliently elastic manner, and that at least one slot extending in the circumferential direction is provided in order to mount the guiding surface in the guiding body in a resiliently elastic manner, and characterized by a first slot which, when seen radially outward from the guiding surface, is arranged adjacent to the guiding surface and, when seen in the circumferential direction, is closed at both ends of the slot.
