In order to solve the above problems, conventional machining centers are equipped with a tool holding device that holds the tool removed from the machine tool in the desired position, and a hard metal or ceramic material is used for the blade of the tool held in the tool holding device. A machining center has been proposed that is equipped with a discharge coating device that performs a coating process such as the above, and a tool transport device that transfers tools between the machine tool, the tool holding device, and the tool magazine. Because it is necessary to provide a discharge coating power source for the process, the equipment becomes large, and the discharge coating process takes time, and depending on the tool, it is difficult to apply the discharge coating process.
