Abstract
A machining center having an upright boxlike housing which projects upwardly adjacent the rear side of the table through a substantial vertical extent. The housing defines an interior chamber therein in which is positioned a movable support for mounting a plurality of tools. This housing has a pair of sidewalls which, at their front edges, have forwardly projecting protrusions which overhang the table. A slide is mounted on the upper surfaces of the housing and is movable horizontally in perpendicular relationship to the table movement. This slide, on the front end thereof, mounts a tool spindle head for displacement along a vertical axis. The front wall of the boxlike housing has an opening which extends therethrough and projects vertically up through the top wall thereof, so that rearward slidable displacement of the slide permits the spindle head to be moved rearwardly into the interior chamber to provide access to the stored tools.
