An automatic tool storing mechanism includes: a plurality of main magazines which hold a large number of pots with tools, a transporting means which transports the pots with tools one by one between the main magazine and the waiting position close to the main spindle, and a tool exchanging arm which takes out an unused or used pot with tool which is waiting at the waiting position and attaches it to the main spindle and also removes the used tool from the main spindle and places it in the pot. A sub-magazine magazine temporarily holding the pots with tools is additionally arranged between the main magazines and the waiting position close to the main spindle. The tool and ports transported from the main magazines are temporarily held in the sub-magazine. The ports mounted with the tool are transported from the sub-magazine up to the waiting position one by one. |
