A machining method and a mist supplying apparatus for use in the method, which provide an excellent cooling effect for a rotation shaft without the need for an ejection nozzle. The machining method comprises the steps of: providing a machine tool which includes a rotation shaft (2) rotatably supported by a casing (1); causing compressed air and a liquid to separately pass through the inside of the casing (1) and into the rotation shaft (2); mixing the liquid with the compressed air within the rotation shaft (2) so as to form the liquid into a mist; feeding the resulting mist along the outer periphery of the tool or through the inside of the tool to a distal end of a generally cylindrical tool fixed to the rotation shaft (2); and supplying the mist to a machining part from the distal end of the tool.
