[0002] At present, the "exhaust groove" on the "steam seal body", a core component of the turbine body, is a kind of inclined groove that is difficult to process. The method used on the market is to drill the exhaust holes with a "universal radial drill" and then grind it. Another processing method uses a large five-axis machine tool to process this inclined groove, and the equipment cost is extremely high.

[0003] The above processing method has the following display problems:

[0004] 1. Using a "universal radial drill" to drill holes and then grind them, the fan-shaped angle of the bevel relative to the center of the circle cannot be controlled at all and can only be approximate, and the width of the bevel cannot be kept consistent;
