ABSTRACT:
A machine tool head in which a rotary spindle is adapted to nutate by virtue of the spindle being mounted in a housing supported to rotate about a predetermined axis and by virtue of the housing being mounted in another housing adapted to rotate about an axis which is inclined relative to the first axis. A train of bevel gears connects the spindle to a non-nutating drive motor and maintains a rotary drive from the motor to the spindle in all positions of the spindle.
