  • Patent number: 5364210
    Abstract: A machine tool comprises a workpiece table that can rotate about a vertical axis. A first spray shielding panel is rigidly attached to the workpiece table substantially along one diameter thereof. It divides the workpiece table into a placement side and a machining side. A second spray shielding panel is stationary and is arranged above the first spray shielding panel, and runs substantially parallel thereto. An articulated third spray shielding panel connects the first and second spray shielding panel to one another. It is connected at its top in a hinged manner to the second spray shielding panel and is provided with a channel at its bottom that encloses an upper edge of the first spray shielding panel over a finite length.
