In a finishing method for finish machining a rotationally symmetrical workpiece section on a workpiece, the workpiece is rotated for the finish machining about a workpiece axis and, in a workpiece section to be machined, a finishing tool equipped with cutting means is pressed with a contact pressure force against a circumferential surface of the workpiece section. In the process, a force signal proportional to the contact pressure force is determined, and a feed path of the finishing tool is controlled during at least one phase of the finishing method on the basis of the force signal.
