A machine tool and more particularly a drilling and/or milling machine, which has a machine stand, on which a slide arrangement, which runs on guide rails and is motor driven, is able to be moved in either direction of horizontal motion. On this slide arrangement a working head is arranged to receive rotary tools. Underneath the working head in a working area a power driven machining table runs along vertical guide rails for the performance of vertical working movements. The working area is laterally delimited by two side walls at least partly, such side walls extending in parallelism to the longitudinal direction, the vertical guide rails for the working table being arranged on one of the side walls. This means that there is a simple design allowing for removal of shavings to the rear and accordingly a narrow form of the machine. A further point is that a transverse wall connecting the side walls remains free so that there is simple access to a tool magazine arranged behind these part
A machine tool and a drilling and/or milling machine, comprising a machine stand, on which a first slide, which is borne on guide rails and is power driven, is able to be moved in a first horizontal direction of motion, a second slide, which is power driven, adapted to run in a second horizontal direction of motion perpendicular to the first direction of motion on the first slide, a working head, arranged on the second slide and having a drive device for at least one rotary tool, and a machining table in a working area underneath the working head, said table being adapted to be power-moved on vertical guide rails for the performance of vertical machining movements during the machining of workpieces by the working head, wherein the working area is delimited by two side walls of the machine stand at least partly laterally, which side walls extend in parallelism to the first horizontal direction of movement and the vertical guide rails for the machining table are arranged on one of the side walls.
