Abstract
A tool turret for machine tools has a turret housing and a turret head rotatably mounted in the turret housing about a rotary axis and lockable in selected angular settings relative to the turret housing. A carriage supports the turret housing and guides movement of the turret housing relative to a machine tool support in a Y direction transverse to the rotary axis. A carriage guide is on the tool support for guiding movement of the carriage. A carrier plate is part of the carriage, and extends in a plane defined by the Y direction and an X direction or a Z direction.
