A tool feeding head is provided, which is adapted for rapid attachment to and detachment from a machine spindlehead. The head includes a shaft which is joinable to a machine spindle of a spindlehead for coupling the rotary driving motion from the spindle to either a cross-feed or feed-out cutting tool. The shaft is provided with a bore. An actuating rod is mounted in the bore for engaging the tool. The actuating rod feeds the tool when the actuating rod is reciprocated within the bore by a rod reciprocating mechanism. The structure supporting the shaft and the reciprocating mechanism enables an automatic tool changer to selectively join the shaft to the spindle, and place the rod reciprocating mechanism in an operative relationship with the driving system |
