ABSTRACT:
A spherical surface of the workpiece is machined, i.e., abraded or polished, with an abrasive particle layer on a tubular jig. The tubular jig is rotatable about a first axis, and has a through passage extending along the first axis and having a tapered surface on the peripheral edge of an outlet, the tapered surface spreading outwardly. The tubular jig is rotated about the first axis, and a fluid lubricant-coolant containing suspended abrasive particles is supplied into the through passage, so that a highly packed flowing layer of abrasive particles is produced on and along the tapered surface under centrifugal forces generated by the rotation of the tubular jig. Then, the spherical surface of the workpiece, which is rotating about a second axis at a predetermined angle with respect to the first axis, is pressed against the flowing layer of abrasive particles.
