Abstract
Different divided tools are attached to tool attachment portions using automatic tool changers in proximity to slit tools that have already been attached to tool attachment portions. The attached different divided tools are moved toward the previously attached divided tools using the automatic tool changers, and the different divided tools are caused to abut on the previously attached divided tools. In a case in which a torque of a servomotor for moving the automatic tool changers in a left-right direction has reached a setting value set in advance, the different divided tools are detected to have abutted on the previously attached divided tools, and the moving of the different divided tools is stopped.
