A method for producing a reamer, such as a milling cutter intended to mill the acetabular cavity of a patient, comprising a substantially hemispherical hollow cutter body with a perforated wall, said method comprising a step in which at least one tooth is formed by stamping the wall by means of a punch plastically deforming a portion of the wall extending radially from and away from a hole formed in the wall, wherein, in the stamping of the tooth, a zone of the deformed portion of the wall, adjacent to the hole, is thinned and pressed by the punch against an anvil.
