Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a tool receptacle (13), and an apparatus for turning a face of a workpiece (2, 102) with a tool (3), wherein the workpiece (2, 102) is held in a workpiece receptacle (12) rotating about an axis of rotation (100) of a workpiece spindle, wherein, for producing and/or machining a workpiece contour having convex and/or concave portions on the face (20) that extend over defined angles of rotation, the tool (3) and the workpiece (2, 102) are moved back and forth relative to one another in an axial movement along the axis of rotation (100) of the workpiece spindle, said axis being synchronized with the rotational movement of the workpiece (2, 102), and wherein a blade (30) of the tool (3) is aligned at least in the cutting direction and/or transverse to the cutting direction opposite to the surface normals (N) of the workpiece contour to be produced and/or machined, in such a way that an effective clearance angle (?) and an effective cutting angle (?) remain at least virtually cons
