A machining program checking method is provided for a numerical control device which controls an NC lathe for performing a machining operation with a plurality of tools simultaneously mounted on a turret thereof, wherein interference of the tools with a workpiece or with various parts of the lathe can be surely detected before the machining operation is actually executed. During creation or simulation of a machining program, all tools n defined and mounted on the turret A are detected the relationship of relative position between a tool m currently in use and each of the other tools n is obtained the current position of each of the tools n is obtained based on the machining program defined with respect to the tool m and the relationship of relative position a determination is made as to whether each of the tools n interferes with the region of the workpiece B or chuck C, and an alarm or the like is displayed in accordance with the result of the determination, thereby checking the interference of the tools before the machining operation is carried out.
