Disclosed is a method and apparatus for machining a workpiece (). The method comprises: specifying a path along which a cutting tool () is to be moved during machining of the workpiece (), the path comprising a plurality of segments (); defining, for each segment (), an entry point and an entry path () from a point remote from the workpiece () to that entry point; moving a first cutting tool () along the tool path from a first point to a second point and machining the workpiece (); after the first cutting tool () has been moved to the second point, moving the first cutting tool () to a point remote from the workpiece (); moving a second cutting tool () along the entry path () of the segment () that contains the second point, and then from the entry point to the second point. 12.
