<p>A blank (10) is milled using a rotating mill (22). A groove (26) having a bottom is first cut across the blank (10) to partially expose a sidewall (28) in the blank (10). The sidewall (28) is then cut by the mill. By alternately repeating cutting of the groove (26) and sidewall (28), the groove (26) is milled deeper in the blank (10) to form a pocket (30) along which the sidewall (28) extends. Since the sidewall (28) is formed in steps, improved efficiency and accuracy is obtained therefor. <IMAGE></p> |
