Cover member and machine tool

Abstract

A cover member according to the present disclosure protects a feed shaft mechanism that feeds a table of a machine tool while supporting the table from below. The cover member comprises: an outer wall part that covers the feed shaft mechanism; and an inner wall part that is positioned between the outer wall part and the feed shaft mechanism, that is spaced apart from the outer wall part, and covers the feed shaft mechanism. One of the outer wall part and the inner wall part includes an inclined section that extends obliquely downward toward a lower end section of the other of the outer wall part and the inner wall part, and that forms a gap between the lower end section and the inclined section itself.
