To provide a rotation processing machine and a rotation processing method capable of delivering a work-piece and a cutting tool by using the same revolving loader and reducing time required for a set-up change operation of the cutting tool.
A rotation processing machine 1 comprises: a rotating device 2 which holds a work-piece 8 and rotates it; a processing device 3 which is mounted with a cutting tool 7 and machines the work-piece 8; and a revolving loader 4 in which a plurality of grippers 5 are arranged with the same radius distance from a revolving center axis 401 and which revolves so as to make each gripper 5 face the rotating device 2 in sequence. Each gripper 5 is configured to be able to grip both the work-piece 8 and the cutting tool 7 directly or indirectly and to carry out delivery of the work-piece 8 between each gripper 5 and the rotating device 2 and delivery of the cutting tool 7 between each gripper 5 and the processing device 3.
