Abstract

A tool T is mounted to the tip of the rotatable main shaft S, and at least the rotation angle of the main shaft S is controlled so that the edge of the tool T is always maintained at the right angle against the direction of the tool movement on the machining program locus, when a work W is machined with the edge T.sub.A of the tool T in the state that the edge T.sub.A of the tool T is offset from the rotation center S.sub.0 of the main shaft S.
