Abstract
A machining apparatus and method of machining a work piece are provided. The method generally includes machining a plurality of independent surfaces of the work piece as the work piece travels along a work path and through a plurality of machining stations in a single pass. The machining apparatus includes a frame and first and second machining stations mounted to the frame. Each machining station is configured to form an independent surface in a work piece passed through the machining apparatus. The machining apparatus also includes a feed arrangement for feeding the work piece through the apparatus along a feed path and relative to the first and second machining stations and the frame while machining is performed on the work piece.
