A machine tool capable of reducing entry of a workpiece chip into a product discharge chute. A controller controls a receipt of a product made of a workpiece held by a first spindle by a product receiver in a product receiving position, movement of the product receiver to a product dropping position and rotation of the product receiver to drop the product to the product discharge chute through an opening of the product discharge chute, and movement of the product receiver to the product receiving position to receive the product again. A second spindle is kept on standby in the product dropping position during which the opening of the product discharge chute is closed by the product receiver.
