ABSTRACT:
In a machine tool having a worktable feed mechanism of the type that a worktable is moved in a horizontal direction relative to a tool spindle along a pair of guideways in parallel with the horizontal direction, there is provided a cutting chips collection space formed between the pair of guideways fixed to a base. A pair of ball screws are arranged outside of the cutting chips collection space for moving the worktable relative to the tool spindle in the horizontal direction. The cutting chips and coolant generated by contacting a tool with a workpiece drop into the cutting chips collection space directly without being heaped onto a cover mechanism of the worktable feed mechanism.
