After a Z-axis on which a chamfering tool is mounted is located in a machining position for chamfering, two orthogonal axes (X- and Y-axes) perpendicular to the Z-axis are positioned to be ready for the chamfering. The Z-axis is compensated simultaneously with the X- and Y-axes in accordance with a machining path in a machining program, based on tool data, whereby the entire cutting edge of the chamfering tool can be used for each chamfering cycle. Specifically, the radius of the tool is made variable so that a chamfering area can cover the entire cutting edge of the tool.
