ABSTRACT:
A stationary machine tool column supports a spindle head to be movable in an axial direction of the spindle. A table on which a workpiece is mounted is moved in directions orthogonal to the axial direction of the spindle. A cutting liquid feed device is fixed to the column through a support member and includes a cutting liquid nozzle and a shower nozzle. The cutting liquid nozzle is adapted to discharge cutting liquid toward a tool mounted to the spindle. The shower nozzle is adapted todischarge cutting liquid as a curtain of fluid to surround a cutting area.
