A method of machining a workpiece. Tool assembly and gear cutting machine

The invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece, in which, especially in the hob peeling, a toothing is formed on the workpiece in a first machining engagement, in which a toothed, about its axis of rotation rotating and exhibiting on a first end side cutting edges at its toothed cutting wheel in Walzkopplung by rotating about its axis of rotation the workpiece is, and terminating an a werkstuckachsparallele direction components having cutting movement of the cutting edges to an axial side of the workpiece teeth, wherein the cutting edges of the cutting wheel form a relative to the workpiece by means of axes of motion positionable first engagement portion, and wherein in a second processing procedure wherein the second engagement portion by means of the same movement axes with respect to movement takes place at the outgoing side of the workpiece teeth with a second engaging portion, a machining of the workpiece, d em positionable workpiece as the first engagement portion and is in particular coupled in movement with the first engaging portion.
