Abstract
A method for machining a face (1) of an optical object (6), includes providing a machine tool which itself includes a bed (1) for locating an object to be machined. The bed (1) has a receiving surface (3) that is angularly adjustable about an axis perpendicular to the receiving surface (3). A spindle (8) is suitable for rotating a machining tool (9) about an axis essentially parallel to the receiving surface (3) of the bed (1) and is suitable for moving the machining tool (9) translationally in a plane essentially parallel or perpendicular to the receiving surface (3) of the bed (1).
