Abstract
A machine tool for machining a workpiece includes a control device for moving a rotating tool relative to the workpiece. The device includes an input information-reading unit and a path-setting unit. The input information-reading unit reads input information, which relates to a path along the contour of the workpiece or the tool path of a first rotating tool that follows the external form of the workpiece. The path-setting unit converts the input information read by the input information-reading unit to generate a tool path for performing the machining using the end cutting edge of a second rotating tool.
