The title „Machine tools for chip removal processes – end view on building technology”, very well describes subject of this paper. The work involves a group of machine tools for the chip removal processes, also their advantages and disadvantages. The machines are divided into groups in terms of processing, constructional design, application in production, etc. Analysis which applies requirements in construction and manufacture of machine tools is given by this work. Also, overview of machine elements and machine tool assembly is made. Through this paper, a description of manual and machining processes was made, with an reference on technology of machine tool parts manufacturing. Significant part of this paper is based on practical examples from the production, of machine tool factory ITAS - PRVOMAJSKA, Ivanec, complemented by theoretical explanations and descriptions, which are supported by the relevant professional literature used to write this work. Heat treating and casting processes cannot be avoided when it comes to machine tool construction, given that, some of that processes are described in the paper. The paper also shows the process of assembling and adjusting the modern machine tool, in accordance with the applicable norms.
