A machine tool having an indexable workpiece support and a tool holder which is moveable to enable the machine tool to operate on different parts of a workpiece while the latter is held stationary by the workpiece support, indexing of the workpiece support enabling a part thereof to be turned from a first position in which a workpiece can be mounted on that part, to a second position to present such a workpiece to the tool holder, whereby one workpiece can be loaded on one part of the workpiece support while another workpiece on another part of the workpiece support is being simultaneously machined by the machine tool.

Machine tool

A press having a generally 'C' shaped frame, punch mounting means arranged on an upper part of the frame, and anvil support means provided on a lower part of the frame. A relatively deep throat is thereby afforded for sheet metal which may be inserted between said punch mounting means and said anvil support-means. Anvil-support suspension mounting means are provided on the upper part of the frame to allow a further anvil support to be suspended from that part of the frame, whereby smaller work can be operated on by the machine.
