Machine tool with a workpiece holding device which extends outside the work table

摘要

The machine tool (10) includes a tool spindle (12) for the tool (14) and a workpiece table (18) with a clamping device on its upper side. The table and spindle move relative to each other in a working region which extends at least partly in a direction (Y) transverse to the spindle axis (13) outside the workpiece table. The device projects beyond the table in this direction, holding the workpiece there. It is open at the bottom, so that swarf falls freely downward in the direction of the spindle axis.
