Abstract
A shaping machine wherein either a work or a tool is a rod-like member extending along a straight center line while the other is a member having a hole capable of being fitted on the rod-like member and wherein the work is shaped while the member having the hole passes through the rod-like member from one end toward the other end of the rod-like member. The shaping machine comprises a feed mechanism for causing relative movement of the rod-like member and the member having the hole to each other along the center line of the rod-like member, a center line of the feed mechanism being coincident with the center line of the rod-like member.
