Abstract
A tool retaining unit 20 includes a turntable 21c for retaining a cutting tool 2 so that the tip 2a of the cutting tool 2 is positioned on the extension of the rotation axis a of the tool retaining unit 20, and a turntable 22b for retaining the cutting tool 2 so that the tip 2a of the cutting tool 2 is positioned on the extension of a rotation axis b. As a result, the position of the tip 2a can be changed without the tip 2a of the cutting tool 2 being corrected in the direction of a cutting line.
