Abstract: A machine tool including a rotary table to which a workpiece to be subjected to machining is attached, a motor that rotates the rotary table, a brake that places the rotary table in a clamping state or an unclamping state, a valve that controls fluid supplied from a fluid supply source to the brake for placing the brake in the clamping state or the unclamping state, and a controller that controls the motor and the valve, where the controller determines whether or not rotation of the rotary table by the motor should be executed on the basis of a signal from a pressure switch of a regulator provided between the fluid supply source and the valve.
