ABSTRACT:
A machine tool such as an NC lathe having a machine body is disclosed. The machine tool comprises a fixed bed, a machine body having a carriage with a tool post mounted thereon is provided on one side of the fixed bed nearer to an operator, and a headstock for loading a workpiece thereon is provided on another side of the fixed bed farther from the operator. The machine tool also includes a cover having a front wall and a side wall to cover at least a front face and a side wall of the machine body, respectively. The cover is provided so as to externally surround the machine tool, and wherein a portion of the side wall of the cover adjacent the tool post includes a door opening formed therein and a side door for opening and closing the door opening. Thus, the tool replacement work is facilitated and the overall workability of the machine tool can be improved.
