Abstract

Two juxtaposed cross slides provided with toolholders are slidably mounted on the saddle of a lathe. To permit an unrestricted use of lathe tools as well as of boring, drilling and milling tools, each cross slide is movable independently of the other. One of the two cross slides carries a turret on the side which is remote from the other cross slide. Said other cross slide carries a tool head, which comprises a tool spindle, which is adapted to be rotationally driven. That tool head is mounted for angular adjustment on an axis which is at right angles to the tool spindle, to the main axis of the lathe, and to the guide for said other cross slide.
