Method for the production of a reamer

A method for producing a reamer, such as a milling cutter intended to mill the acetabular cavity of a patient, the milling cutter comprising a substantially hemispherical hollow cutter body with a perforated wall, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a press comprising a stamp and an anvil;
• b) providing a flat metal blank designed to constitute the perforated wall;
• c) stamping a hole in the metal blank;
• d) forming at least one tooth by stamping the metal blank by means of a punch, and plastically deforming a portion of the metal blank extending radially from and away from the hole previously stamped in the wall;
• wherein:
• steps c) and d) are distinct, and wherein step d) is performed after step c);
• during step d), a zone of the deformed portion of the metal blank, adjacent to the hole, is plastically deformed, thinned, and pressed by the punch against the anvil to form a cutting edge.
