Abstract
A machining apparatus for a shaft-type workpiece has a housing or frame defining a pair of spaced and upright side walls and a vertical front wall bridging the side walls. Vertical guides on one of the side walls carry a vertically shiftable headstock and tailstock capable of rotating a workpiece about an upright axis. Horizontal guides on the front wall carry a turret adapted to hold first machining tools and horizontally shiftable for engagement of the first tools with a workpiece held and rotated by the headstock and tailstock. A holder on the other of the side walls can hold a workpiece with an end of the workpiece exposed so that a second tool can engage and machine the exposed end of the workpiece.
