Patent ID: 8651779

Claim:
A method for producing a drive shaft of a food processor, the drive shaft having an end-side, splined-shaft-like toothing that is movable into positively locking engagement with a complementarily formed clutch, the method comprising: producing the toothing by machining the drive shaft with a cylindrical milling cutter, wherein during the machining, a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical milling cutter extends in a radial direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the drive shaft; and wherein, during the machining, the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical milling cutter is positioned cross-wise relative to the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft, such that the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical milling cutter is at an incline relative to the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft so that the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical milling cutter and the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft form an angle of less than 90°.
