A method for manufacturing bone milling cutters, wherein a milling cutter toothing (12) is created at a distal face of a tubular milling cutter shaft (10) of a bone milling cutter at a given outer diameter (D) of the milling cutter shaft (10). The following steps are carried out: determining the tube circumference (U) of the milling cutter shaft (10) ascertaining an average desired tooth height (Hgew) of the milling cutter toothing (12) ascertaining the desired tooth period length (LZ′) of the milling cutter toothing from the desired tooth height (Hgew) at given parameters of a tooth period pattern dividing the tube circumference (U) by the desired tooth period length (LZ) rounding the results to an even number value (Qz) and dividing the tube circumference (U) by the value (Qz) in order to obtain the tooth period length (LZ).
