A machining center of a horizontal type including a vertical base is disclosed. A pallet carrying a workpiece to be machined is mounted on a pallet slide with a pallet surface being vertical so that the pallet is movable along a first horizontal axis and rotatable about this first axis. The pallet slide is mounted on the vertical base so as to be movable vertically along a first vertical surface of this base, this surface being parallel to the first axis. A spindle supporting a tool for machining the workpiece is mounted in a spindle slide so that the spindle is rotatable about a second horizontal axis making a right angle with the first axis. The spindle slide is supported by the vertical base so as to be movable horizontally along a second vertical surface of the base, said second surface making a right angle with the first vertical surface of the base. Accordingly, a wide space is formed below the workpiece and tool supported by the pallet slide and spindle slide respectively. |
