Abstract: An improved machine tool includes a one-piece cast bed (14) or base which requires a minimum of machining. A wayblock (32) guides movement of turret and tailstock assemblies relative to the base. The wayblock (32) is positioned on and connected with the base by a body (80) of epoxy resin material. The body of epoxy resin material is cast in situ between an as cast side surface of the base and the wayblock. A workpiece is rotated relative to the base by a spindle assembly (18). The spindle assembly is positioned on and connected with the base by a second body of epoxy resin material (76). The second body of epoxy resin material is cast in situ between an as cast surface of the base and the spindle assembly. The thickness of the body of epoxy resin material cast between the wayblock and the base is variable to accommodate variations in the spatial orientations of the spindle and wayblock mounting surfaces.
