Abstract
A method and a device for facing surfaces of workpieces, in particular made of light metal alloys, in which a cutting tool is moved in a feed direction relative to the surface and removes material at a defined thickness by cutting, wherein the cutting tool is moved in a defined feed direction with one or more cutter bars oriented substantially parallel to the surface. The cutter bars are always set at an angle of <90° but >0° with respect to the feed direction. In this way, surfaces with high surface quality can be produced, in particular for workpieces made of light metal, with cost-effective machining parameters.

A method for facing a surface of a workpiece, comprising:
- providing a cutting tool having one or more cutter bars oriented substantially parallel to the surface of the workpiece, wherein the one or more cutter bars are adjusted at an angle >0° and <90° with respect to a defined feed direction;
- moving the cutting tool relative to the surface in the defined feed direction;
- and
- removing material with a defined thickness.
An apparatus disposed on a machine tool for facing a surface of a workpiece, comprising:
- a cutting tool comprising a support body, a clamping device, and at least one substantially linear cutter bar attached to the clamping device,
- wherein the clamping device is constructed to be driven in a defined feed direction and with a rotary motion,
- wherein the at least one cutter bar of the cutting tool is oriented substantially parallel to the surface and moved at an angle >0° and <90° with respect to the defined feed direction.
