The invention relates to a device for machining workpieces, especially for
chip removing machining. The device includes a spindle which is mounted
on a first end of a pivoting arm in such a way that it can be linearly
displaced in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the spindle,
and a console on which the pivoting arm is mounted by its second end in
such a way that it can rotate about an axis parallel to the rotation axis
of the spindle. The console can be displaced in a direction which is
perpendicular to the displacement direction of the spindle in all of the
pivoting positions of the pivoting arm.
