Abstract

At its most basic level, a milling operation involves a co-ordinated linear, or multiple-axis feeding motion of the multi-edged cutter as it rotates across and into the workpiece. Milling cutters are usually fitted into a driven rotating machine spindle for a range of machine tools. The type of machines available is quite diverse and include: milling machines, machining centres , mill/turn centres , plano-mills , etc.
