In a machine tool for performing cutting work of a work employing a tool provided with at least one throw away tip, abnormality of the tip C can be certainly detected by picking up tips C1, C2, . . . Cn of the tool by means of image pick-up means 23, providing different image processes for the obtained image, obtaining a luminance value distribution data of an inspecting region set at a cutting edge portion of the tip, and performing interpolation processing between the images for the obtained luminance value distribution data to take out only a luminance value of a defective portion Cc of the inspecting region and to detect abnormality of the tip C1, C2, . . . Cn on the basis of the luminance value. Thus, abnormality of the tip C can be certainly detected even when a stain is deposited.
