A whirling tool (21), in particular for cutting a thread, comprises a body with cutting teeth integrally machined thereon (23; 47, 51). Inaccuracies caused by mounting cutting teeth on the tool are avoided thereby.

A method for manufacturing a dental or medical tool the method comprising the steps of positioning a pre-fluted blank 14 including a stem 24 and a shank 22 within a machine 30, using a probe to identify a position and/or an orientation of at least one flute 26 of the pre-fluted blank 14 and/or the position and/or orientation of an orientation indicator 28 of the pre-fluted blank 14, and using the machine 30 to form a cutting end region 36 at the end of the stem 24 of the pre-fluted blank 14 remote from the shank 22, the flute 26 extending into the cutting end region 36, the machine 30 being controlled to ensure that the cutting end region 36 is correctly orientated relative to the flutes 26 of the pre-fluted blank 14.

A method for producing one or more concave cut-outs on a main body, which is in particular substantially cylindrical, more particularly one or more grooves on a magnetic armature, a push rod, or a magnetic keeper plate, includes the following steps: providing a main body, which is in particular substantially cylindrical and has a first axis of rotation, rotating the cylindrical main body around the first axis of rotation in a first rotational direction by means of a lathe, and rotating a striking tool, which is provided with a number of fly cutters, around a second axis of rotation, which extends in parallel and offset in relation to the first axis of rotation in a second rotational direction, which is opposite to the first rotational direction, in such a way that the fly cutter engages in a material-removing manner in the main body to produce the cut-out.

The whirling device comprises a retaining ring extending around a ring axis and a central opening and having at least one receiving area for a machining element for machining rod-shaped material in the area of the central opening. A coolant supply comprises a supply sleeve which is arranged on the retaining ring via a rotary bearing and comprises a coolant connection and a supply area adjoining a connection area of the retaining ring. Starting from at least one inlet opening in the connection area of the retaining ring, at least one passage leads through the retaining ring to at least one outlet opening which faces the central opening of the retaining ring and is designed for a machining element in a receiving area. No space is required for the coolant supply between the retaining ring and an assigned lathe.
