Brush making machine

The invention relates to a brush-making machine (1), comprising a clamping cylinder (2) having a plurality of clamping points (4) for brush bodies (5) distributed about an axis of rotation (R) of the clamping cylinder (2), and at least one processing tool (3), and comprising at least one holding element (6), the invention relates to a brush maker (1) having a holding element (2), which is provided for supporting a free section (7) of a brush body (5) clamped at a clamping point (4) of the clamping cylinder (2) against a centrifugal force acting on the free section (7) at least during a rotation of the clamping cylinder (2) about its rotational axis (R), the brush maker (1) having an actuating mechanism (8) for facilitating the processing of the brush body (5) clamped at the clamping point (4), the actuating mechanism is used for moving the at least one holding element (6) from a holding position to a processing position far away from the clamping position (4) when the clamping position (4) is in the processin
