A tool drive unit for a turning device for machining workpieces has a tool holder driven in a displaceable manner along an infeed direction by a first linear motor and driven in a pendular/displaceable manner in a direction transverse to the infeed direction by a second linear motor. Both linear motors have a moving coil/piezo element. The turning device has a main infeed drive, which produces a primary infeed movement of a turning tool in an infeed direction, and has a main transverse drive which produces a primary transverse movement in a transverse direction transversely to the infeed direction. The turning device has a secondary transverse drive whose movements are oriented in the same direction as the main transverse drive, wherein the turning tool and the axis of rotation can be moved towards one another and away from one another by the superimposition of primary and secondary transverse movements.

A machine tool (1) includes a spindle (32) supported on a support surface (37a) of a support body (37) with such an orientation that the longitudinal axis of the spindle extends along the support surface (37a). The spindle (32) is movable in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spindle (32). The support body (37) is provided with a ventilation hole (80) extending through the support body (37) between the support surface (37a) and a surface (37b) facing in the direction opposite to the support surface (37a), to open toward the spindle (32).

A cutting machining apparatus includes a rectangular box-shaped housing as a whole, a base member fixed to the housing via a cushioning member, a workpiece holder disposed inside the housing to be apart from the housing, fixed to the base member, and holding a workpiece, and a machining unit disposed inside the housing to be apart from the housing, fixed to the base member, and machining the workpiece.

A guide mechanism for a machine tool includes a movement member and a guide member in a form of first and second rails the movement member and the guide member relatively movable to each other. A hydrostatic pressure guide mechanism and a sliding guide mechanism are formed between the movement member and the first and second rails. The hydrostatic pressure guide mechanism includes a static pressure chamber, a seal portion sealing a periphery of the static pressure chamber, and a supply passage configured to supply a lubricating oil into the static pressure chamber.
