Provided is a milling/cutting tool including: a tool main unit that is rotated about an axis; and a plurality of tips that are disposed at one end surface of the tool main unit with spacings therebetween in a circumferential direction about the axis of the tool main unit, wherein the individual tips are disposed so that turning rake surfaces thereof are inclined in the axial directions.

A positioning device positions a tool holder (12, 14, 16, 18) on a tool turret (6) of a machine tool by positioning pins (10). The positioning pins are secured to the tool turret (6) and engage with receptacles (40) on the tool holder (6) when the tool holder (12, 14, 16, 18) is attached to the tool turret (6). At least one of the receptacles of the tool holder (6) is formed by a sleeve (40), with which the assignable positioning pin (10) engages in the mounted state while contacting the inner circumferential surface (58) of the sleeve (40). The inner circumferential surface (58) is part of an expanding part (56), which, when the pin (10) engages, expands elastically and flexibly away from the pin (10).

The invention relates to a cutting insert holder, having a central axis and at least one first receptacle for fastening a first cutting insert to the cutting insert holder, and having at least one second receptacle for fastening at least one second cutting insert to the cutting insert holder, wherein the first receptacle and the second receptacle are arranged offset from each other in the circumferential direction about the central axis, wherein the first receptacle and the second receptacle are configured and arranged in such a way that a first rake face associated with an active main cutting edge of a first cutting insert arranged in the first receptacle has a first orientation along the circumferential direction, wherein a second rake face associated with an active main cutting edge of a second cutting insert arranged in the second receptacle has a second orientation along the circumferential direction).

A vertical lathe, including: a headstock provided on the upper side of a base so as to be capable of moving in the lateral direction and the vertical direction; a main spindle rotatably supported by the headstock; a workpiece chuck provided at the lower end section of the main spindle; a turret support stand provided so as to be capable of moving in the longitudinal direction orthogonal to the lateral direction and the vertical direction; an actuator for moving the turret support stand in the longitudinal direction; a turret having tool mounting parts provided at a plurality of circumferential positions, the turret being supported by the turret support stand so as to enable turn-indexing about the axis in the longitudinal direction; and a plurality of processing tools attached at each of the tool mounting parts so as to be set apart from each other in the longitudinal direction.

A cooling liquid feeder for feeding a cooling liquid into a cooling liquid hole defined in a tool includes a first connector disposed on a turret which retains the tool, a first flow channel for directing the cooling liquid from the first connector to the cooling liquid hole, a robot installed in a machining chamber and equipped with an end effector, a second connector disposed on the end effector and configured to be detachably attached to the first connector in a liquid tight manner, and a second flow channel for directing the cooling liquid from a source of the cooling liquid to the second connector, in which the robot is actuated to attach the second connector to the first connector for feeding the cooling liquid into the cooling liquid hole.

An adjustable collet holder for use with a lathe is provided. The adjustable collet holder may include a set of hold down screws to hold it in place once adjusted. Adjustment may be achieved by adjusting multiple set screws to change both angular and concentricity orientations of a collet receiver relative to a body of the collet holder.

A tool rest for a machine tool, with a plurality of rotary tools and a tool-rotating drive shaft supported rotatably so that its rotation is transmitted to each rotary tool. The tool rest includes: a plurality of input portions fixed to the tool-rotating drive shaft; and engaging portions corresponding to the respective input portions, rotatably supported and adopted to be driven in rotation by the input portions for engaging with engaged portions of each rotary tool to transmit power when a prescribed rotational phase is reached. Adjusting means is provided between a prescribed input portion and the engaging portion, for adjusting the phase of the engaging portion relative to the tool-rotating drive shaft such that the engaging portions and the corresponding engaged portions are engaged simultaneously.
