Abstract
A method for machining surfaces of revolution at workpieces comprises the eps of: rotating the workpiece during machining; roughing the workpiece with a disk-shaped tool having at its circumferential edge cutting elements with cutting edges; and, for finishing the workpiece, plunge-cutting by turning the workpiece with the disk-shaped tool, wherein the step of plunge-cutting by turning is divided into a sequence of individual plunge-cutting by turning steps so that material of overlapping portions of the workpiece is removed sequentially. The tool comprises a disk-shaped base body with a circumferential edge and a first set and a second set of cutting elements that are connected to and distributed over the circumferential edge of the disk-shaped base body. The first set is used in the roughing process, and the second set is used in the finishing process by plunge-cutting by turning. The cutting elements of the second set are spaced at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the tool and axially staggered such that, when viewed in the circumferential direction, the working areas of the cutting elements overlap.
