Summary:A machine tool has a work space in which a device for accommodating workpieces to be machined is arranged. The machine tool further has a work spindle for machining the workpieces and a slide which carries the work spindle and is traversable in a longitudinal direction relative to the device, a respective cover, variable in length in the longitudinal direction (x), for the work space being provided on the slide on each of its sides, said cover being connected with its respective first end to the slide and with its respective second end to a side wall of the work space. Each cover variable in length has a respective rear wall and a respective top, whereby the top is connected to the rear wall in a detachable, push-in, manner. A further flexible cover is arranged in front of the slide to protect the work space at the bottom. The flexible cover is variable in a direction (y) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (x) and is partly designed as a link apron.
