Method for determining a tooth period length of a bone milling cutter

A method for manufacturing a bone milling cutter, wherein a milling cutter toothing is created at a distal face of a tubular milling cutter shaft of a bone milling cutter and at a given outer diameter of a milling cutter shaft, the method comprising the following steps, executed in sequence:

• a) determining a tube circumference of the milling cutter shaft;
• b) ascertaining an average desired tooth height of the milling cutter toothing;
• c) ascertaining a desired tooth period length of the milling cutter toothing from the desired tooth height at given parameters for a tooth period pattern;
• d) dividing the tube circumference by the desired tooth period length and rounding the results to an even number value;
• e) dividing the tube circumference by the even number value to obtain an actual tooth period length;
• and
• f) mechanically removing or severing material at the distal end of the milling cutter shaft to configure previously determined milling cutter toothing.
