Abstract

An end-forming machine tool comprises a machine bed (1), which carries workpiece-gripping means (2) and at least one headstock (3), which is guided for a displacement along the axis of the workpiece relative to the workpiece-gripping means. In order to permit efficient forming operations to be performed within a short time and to achieve a high precision and high surface finish in conjunction with long edge lives of the tools, the machine bed (1) is provided with a milling unit (4), which is disposed between the workpiece-gripping means (2) and the headstock (3) and is displaceable along the axis of the workpiece. The milling unit (4) is provided with an internally cutting annular inserted-tooth cutter, which is adapted to be driven and rotatably mounted in a tool slide (7), which is movable transversely to the axial direction of the workpiece.
