         4 . The machine tool according to  claim 3 , further comprising a second support disk configured to be supported by the machine base part, wherein the annular second working disk is fastened to the second support disk. 
     
     
         5 . The machine tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the top counter-bearing element is arranged on a pivot arm that is positioned on the machine base part, and wherein the top counter-bearing element is configured to be pivoted relative to the first working disk using the pivot arm. 
     
     
         6 . The machine tool according to  claim 5 , wherein the pivot arm comprises a rotary drive for the top counter-bearing element. 
     
     
         7 . The machine tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise weight sensors configured to measure a weight force acting on the feet. 
     
     
         8 . The machine tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise optical sensors configured to optically measure a vertical position of the feet. 
     
     
         9 . The machine tool according to  claim 8 , wherein the optical sensors comprise laser sensors configured to measure a vertical position of the feet using a propagation time measurement. 
     
     
         10 . The machine tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising an evaluation apparatus configured to receive measurement data from the sensors. 
     
     
         11 . The machine tool according to  claim 10 , wherein the evaluation apparatus is configured to output a warning signal when a deviation of the alignment of the first working disk from a specified alignment is detected. 
     
     
         12 . The machine tool according to  claim 11 , wherein the evaluation apparatus is configured to actuate the machine tool such that the alignment of the first working disk corresponds again to the specified alignment when the deviation of the alignment of the first working disk from the specified alignment is detected. 
     
     
         13 . The machine tool according  claim 12 , further including an adjusting apparatus configured to adjust at least one of: (i) the first working disk; a first support disk supporting the first working disk; or (iii) the feet, wherein the adjusting apparatus is configured to be actuated by the evaluation apparatus such that the alignment of the first working disk corresponds again to the specified alignment. 
     
     
         14 .
