A chuck holder is moveable on a tool positioning plane that is perpendicular to the X axis. A tool chuck is attached to and moveable with the chuck holder. A tool holder is moveable relative to the chuck holder along the X axis. A plurality of tools are releasably attached to the tool holder for selective attachment to the tool chuck. A machine controller is operable to control movement of the chuck holder, the tool chuck, and the tool holder to transfer a selected one of the tools between the tool chuck and the tool holder, and position an appropriate tool and the part in different positions for several different cleaning operations.
