Abstract
In a double housing machining center, a table having a plurality of T slots on its top surface is arranged substantially in a horizontal direction. A lower space, into which chips are received, is provided under the table. A plurality of through-holes, being in fluid communication with bottom portions of the T slots and passing through the table to reach the lower space, is scattered and formed in the table. The chips introduced into the T slots are discharged into the lower space through the through-holes. Thus, the chips splashed down onto the table and introduced into the T slots are readily removed and the cleaning work of the table is reduced.
