(57) Finishing machine (10) and method for sections (11) comprising a work station (13,
33) that carries out a surface finishing on the section (11), and a guide unit (16)
disposed upstream and in cooperation with the work station (13, 33), to determine
and guide the positioning of the section (11) with respect to the work station (13,
33) and keep it in a determinate operating position. The guide unit (16) comprises
one or more actuator members (20, 21, 22) disposed transversely with respect to a
direction of feed of the section (11), to assume a first pre-setting configuration,
in which they are at a determinate distance from the section (11), according to a
predetermined range or family of sizes to which the section (11) being worked belongs,
and a second specific setting configuration, subsequent to the first configuration,
in which they contact the lateral surfaces of each section (11), to keep it in the
determinate operating position.
