1. A machining apparatus for machining an elongate cylindrical workpiece, the machining apparatus comprising:
a first machining tool for machining the workpiece to be machined by means of the machining apparatus,
at least one second machining tool for machining the workpiece or a second workpiece to be machined by means of the machining apparatus, and
a mounting apparatus for mounting the first machining tool and for mounting the at least one second machining tool,
wherein the mounting apparatus comprises a main body,
wherein the first machining tool is supported on the main body via a first machining head, wherein the first machining head is mounted on a first face of the main body in one pivoting degree of freedom about a horizontally oriented pivot axis relative to the main body so as to be pivotable in different machining positions relative to the workpiece when the first machining tool is engaged with the workpiece, wherein in one of the different machining positions a longitudinal center axis of the first machining tool extends in a vertical direction, wherein the first machining head is mounted to the first face of the main body via a support apparatus that is translationally moveable along the first face of the main body in the vertical direction, the first machining head comprising a first mounting interface for coupling the first machining tool thereto;
wherein the at least one second machining tool is supported on the main body via a second machining head, the second machining head being mounted on a second face of the main body, and wherein the at least one second machining tool is arranged in one pivoting degree of freedom about a vertically oriented pivot axis relative to the main body so as to be pivotable in different machining positions relative to the workpiece when the at least one second machining tool is engaged with the workpiece,
wherein the at least one second machining head is arranged on the second face of the main body such that the at least one second machining head is translationally moveable along the second face of the main body in the vertical direction independent of the first machining head,
wherein the first face of the main body is different than the second face of the main body, the first face of the main body extending parallel to a first vertically-extending spatial plane and the second face of the main body extending parallel to a second vertically-extending spatial plane, and the first vertically-extending spatial plane and the second vertically-extending spatial plane are offset from one another by an angle of less than 180° and greater than 0°, and
wherein the at least one second machining tool is a disc milling cutter, the disc milling cutter defining a vertically-extending disc plane when supported by the second machining head.
