Abstract: On a frame, a headstock and a tool rest are provided being free to relatively move so as to perform machining operations. The headstock is rotatably provided with spindle. The spindle is provided with a workpiece gripping means. One or more than one bar supporting means for movably supporting a bar stock in a predetermined feeding direction are provided at a predetermined position with respect to the spindle. A cutting means, for cutting the bar stock supported by the bar stock supporting means at a cutting position on the feeding direction side to the bar supporting means, is provided. A workpiece carrying means is provided being free to move relative to the headstock so as to deliver the workpiece produced by cutting of the bar stock with the cutting means to the workpiece gripping means of the spindle from the workpiece gripping means side to the spindle.
