A machine tool comprises: a servomotor feeding a workpiece or a tool; a motor control section controlling the servomotor; and a processor connected to the motor control section, in a parameter adjustment mode while rotating a load by the servomotor with a given speed command issued to the motor control section under a condition where torque is limited, the processor calculating load inertia based on the torque and an angular acceleration of the servomotor that is obtained based on an output from the servomotor, calculating a parameter based on the load inertia, and adjusting a control parameter set to the motor control section based on the parameter.
