Abstract

A chip suction type machine tool continuously removing chips produced during work machining by air suction, comprising a tool attaching part (200) in which a vent hole (s1) is formed and a spindle head (100) having an air suction hole (s2) communicating with the vent hole (s1) wherein, with the tool attaching part (200) installed on the spindle head (100), a telescoping cylinder means (201) which is formed in an inclined surfaces crossing at an angle (&thgr;) of approximately 60° or below, and facing closely, the direction of the spindle, allows at least one of the downstream end part of the vent hole and the upstream end part of the air suction hole to be deformably telescoped and, in free state, is held in a retracted state so that these downstream and upstream end parts are departed from each other by elastic member (205) which is provided between the downstream end part of the vent hole (s1) and the upstream end part of the air suction hole (s2).
