1. A method for processing a rotationally symmetric workpiece in a space defined by orthogonal x-, y- and z-axes, the workpiece having a symmetry axis parallel to the z-axis, the method comprising:

  • rotating the workpiece around the symmetry axis;

    moving the workpiece parallel to the z-axis;

    providing a rotating, rotationally symmetric tool having a processing surface and a rotation axis parallel with the y-axis;

    moving the tool in a plane parallel to a plane defined by the x- and z-axes and at a constant distance in the y-direction from the workpiece symmetry axis, the processing surface of the tool thereby contacting a surface of the workpiece.
