Patent ID: 6869259

Claim:
A milling method for manufacturing components for turbomachines, aircraft and spacecraft by producing recesses or interspaces with one or more side walls, the recesses or interspaces forming channels and the side walls forming surfaces, comprising: using an end milling cutter which cuts at its circumference and at its tip and has a tip contour which is rounded at least towards the circumference as a rotating milling tool, performing both centric rotation about a milling tool axis and an eccentric orbiting motion about an orbital axis, spaced apart from the milling tool axis, with the milling tool, the sense of the rotation being opposite to the sense of rotation of the orbiting motion, and the speed of rotation being considerably higher than the speed of the orbiting motion, performing a translational advance motion with the orbital axis, including the milling tool moving eccentrically around it, on a straight and/or curved path transversely to the longitudinal direction of the orbital axis to thereby produce the recesses or interspaces, and periodically wobbling the milling tool as required while performing the eccentric orbiting motion.
