In the case of a long tool such as a drill 4a which protrudes by a large distance from the tool attaching portion 4, the portion where correction of runout of the shaft center with respect to the rotation center is required at the highest degree is a blade edge 4b which is in the tip end of the drill. In the conventional art described above, however, it is impossible to correct runout of the shaft center with respect to the rotation center in a portion which largely protrudes from the tool attaching portion 4, such as the blade edge 4b in the tip end of the drill.
