ABSTRACT:
A blank is milled using a rotating mill. A groove having a bottom is first cut across the blank to partially expose a sidewall in the blank. The sidewall is then cut by the mill. By alternately repeating cutting of the groove and sidewall, the groove is milled deeper in the blank to form a pocket along which the sidewall extends. Since the sidewall is formed in steps, improved efficiency and accuracy is obtained therefor.
