A machining method in which a numerically controlled apparatus carries out a series of operations such as the determination of machining procedures, the selection of a tool, the preparation of a workpiece and inspection programs, machining operation, and inspection, required when a numerically controlled machine tool carries out a machining operation on the basis of input graphics and process information, using at least machine tool information, tool information, cutting condition information, material information, machining method symbol information, finishing symbol information, finishing allowance information, surface treatment information, information about thermal refining, and cost information, the method includes the steps of, while using electronic calculators including a numerical control unit, an FA system, and a personal computer, and a series of data processing units and machine tools, registering a variety of information files; inputting machining pattern data; processing a finished pattern; processing a machining pattern before a workpiece has finished undergoing another process; identifying the pattern; making a decision with regard to a machining process; and deciding whether or not material should be measured.
