According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of setting up a work piece based on a vision is present. The method of setting up a work piece based on a vision comprises: calculating a start point of a work piece from the image of a work piece within a vision screen formed by a camera; capturing an image when a tool is captured in the vision screen; and calculating an offset value of the tool from the captured image.

A machine tool includes one tip arranged on the spindle at a position that faces the table, a cutting edge position storing unit that stores therein multiple measured values that are obtained by performing measurement of the position of the tip at least two times in a state where the spindle is set at at least one phase and the tip is positioned at an identical point, a spindle tilt angle calculating unit that calculates a tilt angle of the spindle with respect to an XY-plane, based on the multiple measured values, and a coordinate system rotation unit that rotates the XY-plane about at least one of X-axis and Y-axis, based on the tilt angle of the spindle calculated by the spindle tilt angle calculating unit.
