A method for processing a toothed workpiece (11), the workpiece (11) being clamped on a rotating workpiece spindle (41) and a first tool set (WS1) and a second tool set (WS2) engaging in the workpiece (11), wherein, at least on a first side (S1) of the workpiece (11), tooth end edges (20, 21, 29, 30) are chamfered and tooth flanks (13, 15) are polished close to the tooth end edges (20, 21, 29, 30), is characterized in that a wedge-shaped tool section (17) of the first tool set (WS1) engages laterally in the tooth gaps (12) on the workpiece (11) on the first side (S1) of the workpiece (11), the tooth end edges (20) being chamfered at front tooth flanks (13) relative to a running direction (LR) of the workpiece (11), and the tooth flanks (15) being polished close to the tooth end edges (21) at rear tooth flanks (15) relative to the running direction (LR) of the workpiece (11), and in that a wedge-shaped tool section (22) of the second tool set (WS2) engages laterally in the tooth gaps (23) on the workpiece (11) on the first side (S1) of the workpiece (11), the tooth flanks (13) being polished close to the tooth end edges (20) at front tooth flanks (13) relative to a running direction (LR) of the workpiece (11) and the tooth end edges (21) being chamfered at rear tooth flanks (15) relative to the running direction (LR) of the workpiece (11). The invention provides a method for chamfering and polishing toothed workpieces with which larger chamfer angles can easily be provided at the tooth end edges of the workpiece.
