A speed change auxiliary device of a lathe is provided. A side chamber of the lathe is provided with a shaft seat and a bottom shaft seat at the top and bottom thereof. An auxiliary device is provided between the shaft seat and the bottom shaft seat. The auxiliary device includes a shaft. A spring, an eccentric block, an engaging member, a positioning nut, a rotary sleeve and a fixing block are fitted on the shaft. The rotary sleeve includes a handle. Two sides of an inner circumferential surface of the rotary sleeve have protrusions. The protrusions each have an upright surface and an upper guide bevel at two sides thereof. The fixing block is disposed on the bottom shaft seat. Two sides of a circumferential surface of the fixing block have recesses. The recesses each have a stop surface and a lower guide bevel at two sides thereof.

The present invention relates to a machine tool 100 for machining a workpiece, said machine tool 100 having the following: a support portion 30 on which at least one vertical guide 18, 32 is disposed; a machining unit 10 for machining a workpiece on the machine tool 100, said machining unit 10 being guided so as to be vertically movable on the at least one vertical guide 18, 32 of the support portion 30; a drive mechanism 20 having at least one drive 21 and at least one gearbox 22, said drive mechanism 20 being specified for driving a relocation of the machining unit 10 in the vertical direction along the at least one vertical guide 18, 32 of the support portion 30, wherein the machining unit is suspended from one or a plurality of gearbox portions of the at least one gearbox 22 of the drive mechanism 20 in such a manner that the centre of gravity 101 of the machining unit 10 conjointly with an effective point 12 of the suspension 11 of the machining unit 10 on the drive mechanism 20 is disposed in a common vertically oriented straight line 23.

A machine tool for implementing machining with rotation, the machine tool includes a first rotor, an enclosure, a first rail, a second rail, and a coupler. The first rotor rotates about a rotational axis. The first rotor is surrounded with the enclosure. The first rail is disposed on the first rotor. The second rail is disposed on the enclosure so as to be brought into alignment with the first rail at a rotational position. The coupler moves along the first rail and the second rail. The coupler is to engage with the first rail and the second rail in a first state and to engage with the second rail without engaging with the first rail in a second state.

A drill press has variable speed drive via belts on stepped pulleys that transfer rotational force from the motor to the drill press spindle. Three stepped pulleys connected by two belts are provided in the example. A belt tension roller is bears against one of the belts to provide tension for effective power transfer from the motor to the spindle. The belt tension roller is adjustable along an arcuate slot in an anchor plate and is fastenable in position by an adjustment knob on the belt tension roller. The middle pulley is mounted to vary its position so that tension adjustments on one belt by the belt tension roller result in tension adjustments on the second belt as well.
