    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a workpiece (28) using a milling cutter configured as a conically convex milling cutter (10) is provided. The conically convex milling cutter (10) comprises a shank (12) and a conically convex milling cutter portion (14) connected at the end to the shank (12) directly or through a transition (16). The conically convex milling cutter (10) has a first and a second cutting area (24, 26), wherein the first cutting area (24) is provided on the shank (12) or/and at the transition (16), and wherein the second cutting area (26) is provided on the conically convex milling cutter portion (14). The method comprises the following steps: A) roughing a blank portion (30) using the conically convex milling cutter (10), wherein the latter is inclined relative to a current feed direction (40) at a reference point (38) of the conically convex milling cutter (10) within a first machining angle range (α1, β1) such that machining is performed with the first cutting area (24) of the conically convex milling cutter (10), wherein the second cutting area (26) remains passive during machining, and B) finishing at least a part of the rough blank portion (46) using the conically convex milling cutter (10), wherein the latter is inclined relative to the current feed direction (40) at the reference point (38) of the conically convex milling cutter (10) within a second machining angle range (α2, β2) in such a way that machining is performed with the second cutting area (26) of the conically convex milling cutter (10), wherein the second cutting area (26) engages with the blank (30).

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to improve the machined-surface quality of a curved surface of a workpiece without reducing the machining speed when the curved surface is subjected to removal machining. Provided is a workpiece machining method in which a rotating table on which a workpiece is placed and a tool are relatively moved along two linear movement axes orthogonal to each other, the workpiece is rotated about each of a first turning axis and a second turning axis orthogonal to each other by the rotating table, and at least one curved surface of a protruding curved surface and a recessed curved surface is subjected to removal machining. The method includes: disposing the first turning axis so as to be parallel to a first linear movement axis of the two linear movement axes, the motor load during linear movement in the first linear movement axis being relatively small; disposing the second turning axis on a plane perpendicular to the first linear movement axis; and subjecting the curved surface to removal machining along the direction of curvature while moving the workpiece along the first linear movement axis and rotating the workpiece about the second turning axis.

    Abstract: A processed article is manufactured with a tool including a cutting blade. The cutting blade is arranged to be in contact with two machined segment surfaces so that two contact points are defined between the two machined segment surfaces and the cutting blade in a corner. A machining pitch is set in a pick feed direction of the tool at the corner to a first machining pitch for when a part of the cutting blade corresponding to a projected shape of a side surface of the cutting blade having a first curvature radius is a cutting point. A cut is performed along a feed direction in the two adjacent machined segment surfaces successively at the corner so that the tool proceeds toward the corner in one of the machined segment surfaces and away from the corner in the other one of the machined segment surfaces.

    Abstract: A compound fillet radii cutter may have a shaft having a cylindrical member, frustoconical cutting surface, a small radius cutting surface having an arc length of a first circle, and a large radius cutting surface having an arc length of a second circle. The frustoconical cutting surface may be disposed between the cylindrical member and the small radius cutting surface. The small radius cutting surface may be disposed between the frustoconical cutting surface and the large radius cutting surface, and a juncture of the large radius cutting surface and the small radius cutting surface may form a tangential union. In this manner, a single cutter may cut radii of various sizes or cut compound radii.
