Device for fabricating dental prosthetics and method

A machining device for a workpiece for the fabrication of dental prosthetic items or models thereof, comprising:

• a workpiece holder for said workpiece and a first and a second machining tool, wherein said workpiece holder on the one hand and said first and second machining tools on the other are capable of being moved relatively to each other along a first feed axis extending through said workpiece holder, and said first machining tool is disposed on a first side of said feed axis and said second machining tool is disposed on a side of said feed axis that opposes said first side, said first and second machining tools being capable of being moved relatively to said workpiece along a second feed axis extending through said machining tool and said workpiece is capable of being rotated through at least 180 degrees about said first feed axis, wherein
• said machine carries out machining of one side of said workpiece in a first position by one of said machining tools and then in a second position rotated through 180 degrees by the other machining tool, such machining being effected at an angle offset α of from 2 degrees to 15 degrees between said first feed axis and second feed axis of at least one of said two machining tools.
