A numerically controlled machine tool that is capable of simultaneously effecting a variety of machining operations using work on a first main shaft and work on a second main shaft, with a high machining efficiency. <??>A first tool post 300 is movable together with a second main shaft 210 in the direction of a main shaft axis C2 and in a direction X1 orthogonal thereto in a plane, while a second tool post 400 is movable at least in the same biaxial direction as the directions of movement of the first tool post 300. A control device superposes the uniaxial or biaxial movement required for the first tool post 300 to machine work W1 on the uniaxial or biaxial movement required for the second tool post 400 to machine work W2, and issues an instruction for movement to the first tool post 300 or second tool post 400, so that the machining operation of the work W1 by the tool on the first tool post 300 and the machining operation of the work W2 by the tool on the second tool post 400 are simultaneously effected. <IMAGE> |
