Patent ID: 8191447

Claim:
Method for machining a workpiece ( 2 ) that rotates about a central axis ( 1 ) by means of a tool ( 3 ), which contains at least one planar cutting plate ( 17 ) arranged in an inclined plane (E) relative to the central axis ( 1 ) of the workpiece ( 2 ) and is provided with a curved cutting edge ( 21 ) that is directed toward the workpiece ( 2 ), wherein the tool ( 3 ) is non-rotatably held during the machining, and wherein the workpiece ( 2 ) and the tool ( 3 ) are displaced relative to one another along two axes mutually perpendicular (X-axis, Y-axis) within a plane (X-Y plane) that lies perpendicular to the central axis ( 1 ) of the workpiece ( 2 ) such that the point of action between the cutting plate ( 17 ) and the workpiece ( 2 ) travels along the cutting edge ( 21 ).
