Abstract

The present assembly provides a method and apparatus for forming partial geometric spheres. The method and apparatus involves rotating a workpiece (26) around a first axis (32) and bringing a machining tool (28) towards the workpiece along a second axis (34) to form a geometric spherical shape on the workpiece, wherein the first and second axes (32,34) form an angle (A) between approximatel zero and ninety degrees. The machining tool (28) may be rotated around the second axis (34). The machining tool may be a hollow mil including cutting tools (36) for milling or a grit surface (38) for grinding. The method and apparatus forms geometric spherical shapes throughout a production run despite cutting tool wear.
