Study Notes
What is Milling?
- Milling is a machining process that uses a rotating cutter to remove material from a workpiece.
High Production Rate and Accuracy
- The high production rate and accuracy of milling machines are contributed by the combination of a rotating cutter and a moving table that allows for precise control over the cutting process.
Types of Milling Machines
- Milling machines are subdivided into two main categories: horizontal milling machines and vertical milling machines.
Horizontal Milling Machine
- The column of a horizontal milling machine contains the spindle and the motor that drives it.
- The spindle in a horizontal milling machine is driven by a motor that is housed in the column.
