Abstract
A method for forming shaped members by drilling, milling or pushing. The positions of tools are preset with respect to at least one reference surface of the machine. A reference surface of each of the members to be machined is placed on the machine reference surface. The tools are moved in union relative to the member on the machine so that at least one tool in the set can carry out a machining step on at least one side wall of the member. The tools are preset and the member is shaped in such a way that members of various cross sections may be suitably machined from the same set of tools.
