Abstract
A work pallet that is arranged to be simple in construction capable of machining five faces of a work by rotating it around the axis of rotation. A work pallet (4) comprises a base body (5) detachably fixed to the table (3) of a machine-tool (1), a pallet main body (6) fixed on the top face of this base body (5), and a work setting face forming body (7), provided on this pallet main body (6) in a way to turn around the rotational axis (20) and having a work setting face (21a) for fixing a work (2), and the pallet main body (6) is provided with a clamping mechanism (31) for releasably fixing the work setting face forming body (7), and a rotational driving mechanism (32) for rotationally driving the work setting face forming body (7) around the rotational axis (20). When machining the work (2), the work setting face forming body (7) can be rotated around the rotational axis (20) by the rotational driving mechanism (32), and the work setting face forming body (7) can be fixed to the pallet body (6) with the clamping mechanism (31) in order to machine five faces of the work (2).
