A machine tool is provided that has a linear drive by means of which a movement unit connected in motion with a functional unit is movable in two axis directions of a movement plane. The linear drive includes two drive units. The primary parts or the secondary parts of the two drive units are attached to the movement unit. The primary part or the secondary part of the one drive unit is disposed in that case on that side of the movement unit which, perpendicularly to the movement plane of the movement unit, is opposite the side of the movement unit provided with the primary part or the secondary part of the other drive unit.
