Machine tool

Disclosed in an automatic tool changer in which the tool changing time can be shortened by increasing overlapping operations of the turning operation and the axial advancing/retracting operation of a replacement arm. An arm driver () is so constituted that the driver performs overlapping operations such that at least a part of the operation for turning a replacement arm () by 180&#xb0; and the operation for advancing/retracting the replacement arm in the axial direction in order to insert or withdraw a tool () are performed simultaneously and in parallelism with each other. When the replacement arm () is advanced/retracted in the axial direction in order to insert or withdraw a tool, the replacement arm () is turned by a predetermined distance in a direction reverse to the direction (so called 'normal direction') for turning the arm by 180&#xb0; in parallelism with the advancing/retracting operation, and thereafter, the replacement arm () is turned in the normal direction.
