A vertical machining center includes a machining table on which a first pallet is placed and which moves in an X axis direction. A spindle head includes a spindle and moves in a Z axis direction. A rotary pallet exchanger exchanges the first pallet with a second pallet in a setup area. In a pallet rotational movement area, the first and second pallets are rotated. An oil pan is below the second pallet in the setup area, accommodates a part of the pallet rotational movement area, and includes a cutout portion. Space exposed to the cutout portion forms a cutout area. A door partitions a machining area from the setup area. An amount of offset in the X axis direction from the axial center of the spindle to the rotational center of the pallet exchanger is equal to or less than a width of the first pallet.
