Abstract
This processing device is provided with: a tool for machining a workpiece W along the thickness direction thereof, the width-direction external shape of the workpiece W being substantially finished; and a flexible vice 7 that clamps the workpiece W in the width direction without clamping the workpiece W in the thickness direction. The flexible vice 7 is provided with a position adjustment mechanism that prevents the position of the workpiece W from changing in a plane along the width direction before and after the workpiece W is clamped. The present invention is provided with a rough processing tool for performing processing at a rough-processing position, a finishing processing tool for performing processing at a finishing-processing position, and a control unit that causes the position adjustment mechanism to move between the processing performed by the rough processing tool and the processing performed by the finishing processing tool.
