Abstract
A machine tool consisting of a stand for a spindle case which travels along the horizontal Z-axis and the vertical Y-axis, with at least one horizontal working spindle and a non-deformable bed with guides for workpiece bench traveling horizontally along the X-axis. To allow simultaneous milling and lathe work on several workpieces, the machine tool comprises a complete milling unit, and next to it on the machine bed, a complete lathe unit. To the side of the workpiece bench of the milling unit, an independent, rotation driven device is placed within the guides of the bed for clamping horizontally aligned workpieces, and next to it a turret head upon which turning tools are secured.
