Claim:
A process for the machining of a panel, including the steps of: positioning at least one machining tool at a working area on a face, called the machining face, of the panel, positioning at least one retention element at a support area located, firstly, on a face, known as the retention face, of the panel, opposite to the machining face and, secondly, opposite to the working area in relation to the panel, inducing a coordinated movement of the at least one machining tool and of the at least one retention element on and relative to the panel, said coordinated movement having at least one component that is tangential to the machining face of the panel to preserve the opposition of said at least one retention element on the support area and of the at least one machining tool on the working area during the coordinated movement, in order to machine at least part of the machining face, and wherein the at least one machining tool and the at least one retention element are placed in contact with the panel during the coordinated movement of the at least one machining tool in machining operation and of the at least one retention element on the panel.
