Abstract

The invention concerns a method for the machining of toothed workpieces, in particular for the plastic reshaping of the tooth edges at the ends of the teeth through a meshing tooth engagement with a tool that is rotatable with free-running mobility about its axis of rotation, in particular a chamfering tool, wherein between the machining of one workpiece and the next, the tool is subjected to a traverse movement, whereby the tool is caused to perform a rotary movement so that, if a tool region (6a, 6b) that is designed for the initial engagement with the work pieces is not suitably positioned, it is brought into a position that is suitable for the machining of the next work piece, wherein the rotary movement is effected by coupling the rotary movement at least in sections to the traverse movement.
