Abstract An apparatus for honing workpieces such as the midspans of jet aircraft engine blades is provided. The apparatus includes a flexibly mounted honing stone which will seat itself on the flat surface of the workpiece to be treated. To provide the necessary flexibility, the honing stone is mounted to a support in such a manner that it is pivotable about at least two axes. It may also be moved in a direction which is substantially orthogonal to the two axes. This latter feature allows the stone to move downwardly as the surface of the work piece is honed. It also allows the honing stone to be moved entirely off the work piece and into a storage position. The apparatus further includes a support which is specifically designed for holding an aircraft blade in a position such that the wear surfaces of the midspans of such blades are in a substantially horizontal plane. Two clamping assemblies are provided for clamping the root and one of the midspans of a blade.
