A machine tool comprising:
- a plurality of machining units disposed in an arcuate array within a substantially cylindrical frame around a central axis thereof and forming respective machining positions spaced apart around said axis and provided with respective tools for machining a workpiece;
- at least one work spindle unit angularly displaceable about said axis and adapted to carry a workpiece capable of being disposed at least at some of said positions for machining by the tool thereof;
- and
- a support, opposite ends of which are supported on a substantially planar end surface of the frame, for said at least one work spindle unit enabling radial displacement thereof relative to said axis.
