A motor-driven machine tool (1) with a tool (7) that can be rotatably driven comprises a drive shaft (5) and a driven shaft (6) on which the tool (7) is received, the rotational movement of the drive shaft (5) being transmissible onto the driven shaft (6) via a coupling device (8). The drive shaft and the driven shaft are arranged in parallel, the driven shaft (6) extending at least partially at the level of and parallel to the drive unit.
