A polygon mill is used in machining to generate a shape on a turned part. The mill cutter has a specific number of straight teeth. The cutter and the workpiece are counter-rotated and synchronized such that a non-round shape is generated on the workpiece. A hex-head or square-head bolt could be produced from round bar-stock with this method.
