Milling is the machining process in which the removal of metal takes place due to the cutting action of a rotating milling cutter.In a milling machine, the cutter is rotating due to workpiece is fed against it.This machine can hold more than one tool at a time. The cutter rotates at high speed, and because of the many cutting edges, it removes metal at a very fast rate.

Milling machines are a type of machinery for removing material from a workpiece using rotary cutters. These machines can drill, bore, and cut an array of materials. This process of removing pieces of the material in line with the tool axis is known as milling, and thus the machines used in the process are called milling machines. Milling ...

Step 4: High Gear and Low Gear. On the picture you can see a letter that's H and an L, That would be your High Gear and Low Gear. As you can see, its on High Gear because that means you can turn on the spindle speed as fast as you want. The only time people used Low Gear is when people are drilling a hole on the part and using a bigger drill.

The milling cutters contain tiny cutters at the edge corners. The cutters are prepared from highly resistant materials that are durable and emit less friction. 3.2. Surface Finish. The material is kept through the cutting area of the milling machine to achieve uniform intervals. The side cutters contain uniform ridges on them.

A milling machine removes metal by rotating a multi-toothed cutter that is fed into the moving work piece. Most milling machines are equipped with power feed for one or more axes. Power feed is smoother than manual feed and, therefore, can produce a better surface finish. Power feed also reduces operator fatigue on long cuts.

Bulky workpieces of irregular shapes are clamped directly on the milling machine table by using T- bolts and clamps. Different types of clamps are used for different patterns of work. The common types of clamps are shown in Fig 10 of chapter 5. All these clamps carry a long hole, through which clamping bolt passes.
