A curved surface machining method that performs finishing of the surface of a
workpiece
into a curved surface. The method includes the steps of: setting a workpiece in
a rotating or stationary state in a water tank filled with an abrasive-containing
solution into which an abrasive with a grain size of less than 1 m has been
admixed; and spraying a high-speed fluid in the abrasive-containing solution while
a position, direction, and angle thereof is controlled relative to the workpiece,
thus grinding and finishing the surface of the workpiece to an intended surface
roughness and profile accuracy.
