Once you have completed the initial setup you can begin the milling process. Gradually lower the cutting tool onto the workpiece to being cutting the material.
A milling machine rotates a cutter to remove material from a workpiece and produces flat surfaces, grooves, slots or profiles. Milling machines are often used in manufacturing plants, engineering sites and metalworking industries.
There are two main types of milling machines in the industry which includes vertical milling machines and horizontal milling machines. Each of the two milling machine types operate on a different axis which offers different functions and capability.
The main advantages of milling machines is that they are very precise and efficient making an ideal choice for many industrial operations. They tend to offer more advantages over other machines because of the precise control over the cutting process and versatility to product complex shapes and profiles.
