Abstract: A machine tool includes: a lower tool rest on which a plurality of tools are mounted; a motor provided at the lower tool rest, for rotating a rotating tool when the rotating tool is mounted on the lower tool rest; and a tool holder attached to the lower tool rest, for detachably holding the tool. The tool holder has a clamping mechanism portion operating between a clamping state of clamping the tool and an unclamping state of unclamping the tool, as a result of transmission of motive power generated at the motor. With such a configuration, the clamping mechanism portion for automatically clamping and unclamping the tool held in the tool holder on the tool rest is provided with a simple configuration.

Abstract: A tool holder positioning device includes: a plurality of protruded portions or a plurality of recessed portions formed to a seating surface of a tool rest; and a plurality of recessed portions or a plurality of protruded portions formed to a coupling surface of a tool holder so as to correspond, respectively, to a plurality of protruded portions or a plurality of recessed portions formed to the seating surface of the tool rest, when the seating surface and the coupling surface are contacted. At least one of the protruded portions and at least one of the recessed portions are disposed on an intersecting axis included in the seating surface, and the recessed portions and the protruded portions to be fitted to the plurality of protruded portions and the plurality of recessed portions are disposed on an intersecting axis included in the coupling surface.
