Abstract: A lathe (1) with a simple construction that is capable of making the relative displacement of a headstock (2) and tool rest (3) due to thermal deformation smaller. The lathe (1) comprises: a head including a headstock attaching section (51), and a slide attaching section (52) which has a portion with a height lower than the headstock attaching section; a headstock (2) attached to the headstock attaching section (51); a slide section (6) attached to the slide attaching section (52); and a tool rest (2) provided laterally to the headstock (3) and attached to the slide section (6). The headstock (2) is attached to the headstock attaching section (51) slanted to the tool rest side with respect to the direction in which the headstock (2) and the tool rest (3) are lined up.
