Abstract: A method for producing a workpiece having a toothing or profiling, including the steps: a) soft machining the workpiece to produce the toothing or profiling; b) hardening the toothing or profiling; c) hard fine machining the toothing or profiling with a first tool that is a grinding worm, a grinding wheel or a honing wheel, wherein the first tool has a base body with a first elastic modulus; d) reinforcement of at least a section of the workpiece by shot blasting; and, following step d), e) repeated hard fine machining of the toothing or profiling with a second tool that is a grinding worm, a grinding wheel, a set of grinding wheels or a honing wheel. The second tool has a plastic or rubber base body with a second elastic modulus which is at most 33% of the first elastic modulus.

Abstract: A workpiece carrier consisting of a table adapter and a workpiece carrier base. The table adapter of the workpiece carrier is detachably mounted on a table of a measuring device or a machine tool. At least three different support points are arranged between the table adapter and the workpiece carrier base. A first support point comprises one rotary body and three balls. A second support point comprises a rotary body and two balls. A third support point comprises two contact elements. The table adapter and the workpiece carrier base can be clamped against each other after mutual positioning by means of a clamping system.
