finishing stand
1. A revolving stand consisting of a flat,
circular board, covered with a soft, smooth
material, mounted on another board. The lower
board is stationary and rests on rubber knobs
which are attached to its lower surface to raise
it and prevent slipping. Ball bearings between the
two boards allow the top one to revolve easily,
thus making it possible to shift the position of
the book with minimum effort. 2. A stand with a
sliding shelf and an arm clamp which can be
attached to the bench to hold a book while
finishing. See also: FINISHING PRESS . (264 )
