A grinding machine having means to momentarily stop the in-feed movement of the grinder toward a rotably supported workpiece. The diameter of the workpiece is determined by a sizing device after the momentary stop of the tool and stored in a memory. Subsequently the engaging pieces of a work rest cause the workpiece to be deflected toward the tool for continued machining and both the tool and rest are subjected to synchronized advance when the output from the sizing device reaches a preselected value greater than the stored value in the memory.
