Abstract
A plurality of magazine tool storage means, mounted on a machine frame, above a headstock, includes tool-holder supports each having receptors into which tool holders can be inserted. Each support is adjustable so that any of its receptors can be arranged in a predetermined changeover position for performing an automatic tool change between the support and the headstock. The magazine tool storage means are successively movable from a fitting position outside a machine working space in the region of the headstock to a standby position for the automatic tool change within the working space.
