What is it about?
Whirling, in which a rotating workpiece is machined by rotating tools around the workpiece with an eccentricity between the centers of the workpiece and the tool rotations, has been generally performed in threading. The whiling mechanism is applied to polygon machinings in this study. In proposed machining, the ratio of workpiece rotation rate to tool rotation rate is set to be n : 1 to machine n polygon prism.

Why is it important?
The presenting manner machines polygon shapes in short times. The polygon shape is controlled by the cutting parameters.
Perspectives
Helical polygon shapes would also be machined with changing the cutting parameters. The presenting manner can be applied to the operations performed on turning centers.
