What is the basic design of a milling machine?

The design of the milling machine is based on steel closed sections of a large cross-section and a big wall thickness. This has allowed a rigid frame structure to be obtained. To obtain high displacement accuracy, high-accuracy profiled rail slideways have been used, along which pre- stressed linear ball bearings move.

How do I choose a milling tool?

Factors that must be considered when selecting milling tools include the type of material being machined, the shapes of internal and external profiles, the amount of stock to be removed along internal and external profiles, the desired finish of the part surfaces, and the capabilities of the machine.

How is the hand of a milling cutter determined?

To determine the hand of a milling cutter, look at it from the back of the cutter, or drive side. If the cutter is designed to rotate clockwise, it is right-handed. If the cutter is designed to rotate counterclockwise, it is left-handed.

What is pocket milling?

In pocket milling the material inside an arbitrarily closed boundary on a flat surface of a work piece is removed to a fixed depth. Generally flat bottom end mills are used for pocket milling. Firstly roughing operation is done to remove the bulk of material and then the pocket is finished by a finish end mill.
