Abstract
A machine tool has a base, a Z-axis slide base capable of longitudinal movement on the base, and a column mounted on the slide base so as to be transversely movable on the slide base. Right and left cover plates, with respect to transverse directions, each formed by folding a single plate have inner ends connected by hinges to the column and outer ends connected by hinges to carriages guided for longitudinal movement by guide rails so as to divide spaces on the right and the left side of the column into front and rear parts. The cover plates turns on the hinges as the column moves transversely.
