WHAT IS A MILLING
MACHINE?
MILLING MACHINE
A milling machine is a power-driven machine that cuts
metal by means of a multi tooth lathing cutter. The machine is
constructed in such a manner that the workpiece is fed to a
rotary der instead of revolving as on a lathe, or reciprocating
as on a planer.
RAM
One end of the arm is attached to the column and
the other ends to the milling head. The ram can be
moved transversally (in and out) on the column by
a hand lever.
ELEVATING SCREW
The elevating screw has threads that can provide upward
and downward movement to the knee and table by rotating
it using a handwheel.
WORKING PRINCIPLES OF MILLING MACHINE
The cutting action is accomplished by feeding the workpiece
against a rotating cutter. The workpiece is firmly secured to the
table while a multitooth cutter positioned on the arbour rotates.
The cutter rotates at a rapid rate, while the material is fed.

FACE MILLING OPERATION
The most simple operation on a milling
machine is face milling. This procedure is
carried out with a face milling cutter that is
rotated about an axis perpendicular to the
work surface as shown in the figure below.
Characteristics:
Utilizes form cutters tailored to the required
shape.
Slower cutting rate compared to plain milling,
typically 20% - 30% slower.
SIDE MILLING OPERATION
Side milling operation refers to the process of using a
side milling cutter to create a flat, vertical surface on the side
of a workpiece. The depth of cut is adjusted by controlling
the vertical feed with the aid of the table screw mechanism.
KEYWAY MILLING OPERATION
Keyway milling operation is a machining process
where precise slots, grooves, or keyways are created
on workpieces to accommodate keys, splines, or other
mating components in mechanical assemblies. These
keyways serve as pathways for small parts to fit
securely into larger machinery, ensuring proper
alignment and transmission of forces. Keyway milling
involves using specialized cutting tools such as end
mills, side milling cutters, plain milling cutters, or
metal slitting saws to carve out these detailed features.
FACE MILLING
THREAD MILLING OPERATION
Pros:
Better chip evacuation
Stable
Ability to handle complex shapes
HIgher productivity
Cons
Expensive
Harder to find trained operators
VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE
Vertical milling machines have the same basic operations as horizontal
milling machines, they only differ in orientation and output. Cutting tools
for vertical milling machines are longer and thinner, this makes vertical
milling machines suitable for precise work on small workpieces. Opposite to
horizontal milling machines deeper cuts cannot be created using vertical
milling machines because it starts to vibrate and cause deviations from the
design.
Pros:
Availability
Lower cost
Simplicity in operation
Low-volume production
Cons:
Lower production output
Limited cutting depth
COLUMN AND KNEE TYPE
MILLING MACHINE
It is the most commonly used milling
machine used for general shop work. In this type
of milling machine the table is mounted on the
knee casting which in turn is mounted on the
vertical slides of the main column. The knee is
vertically adjustable on the column so that the
table can be moved up and down to accommodate
work of various heights.
FIXED BED MILLING MACHINE
A fixed bed type, as its name hints, is a type of milling machine that has a rigid bed attached to
the machine. You cannot arrange the saddle and knee of this milling machine. It has a movable
spindle head-mounted with the spindle of the machine. The machine can perform cutting operations
by moving in horizontal and vertical directions.
Simplex, duplex and triplex fall under this type of milling machine.
SIMPLEX MILLING MACHINE
The spindle or the spindle head can travel in one
direction only. The most common direction in which it
can move is vertical.This type of machine is best
suited for stable milling, workpieces that require
excellent surface finish, and flat surfaces.
DUPLEX MILLING MACHINE
This machine is a combo of two machines that
are placed across from each other. They function
autonomously. This machine works as a single unit
and concurrently uses two spindles to process the
workpiece.The spindle can move in both horizontal
and vertical directions.
TRIPLEX MILLING MACHINE
A triplex milling machine is a specialized type of milling machine that is capable of performing multiple milling
operations simultaneously on a single workpiece. It typically consists of three independent milling heads
mounted on a single machine frame, each capable of performing its own milling operation. The spindle of these
machines travels in three directions: x, y, and z axes.

SPECIFICATION OF MILLING
MACHINE
While working in an industry, the types of these machines are
considered. But there are terms that the machine shop operators discuss
before shipping or considering investing in these machines. They are called
a specification of milling machines.
PERIPHERY
Cutting edges locus.
CUTTING EDGE
Touches workpiece during cutting;
intersection of face and tooth flank.
FILLET
Where teeth join; reinforces cutting teeth.
FACE OF TEETH
Surface forming chips during cutting;
can be curved or flat.
BACK OF TOOTH
Formed by fillet and secondary clearance angle.
LAND
Narrow surface on tooth
back, result of clearance
angle.
BOTTOM LAND
Space between consecutive teeth.
ROOT DIAMETER
Passes through the center,
joining the periphery ends.
ROOT DIAMETER
(BOTTOM FILLET)
Passes through the center, joining bottom
fillet ends.
LIP ANGLE
Between teeth, face and land.
RELIEF ANGLE
Between tangent at cutters
outside diameter and tooth land;
prevents interference with work
surface.
RADIAL RAKE ANGLE
Angle between the teeth face
and radial line at the cutting
edge is called Radial Rake
Angle.
