    A milling machine is used to remove material from a workpiece by mounting a rotating multipoint cutting tool called a milling cutter. The workpiece is clamped to a table that can move in the X, Y, and Z directions while the spinning cutter removes material. Milling machines come in various types including horizontal, vertical, and universal designs, and are used for operations like face milling, end milling, and profile milling to produce flat, curved, or irregular surfaces on the workpiece. Key components include the base, column, knee, saddle, worktable, spindle, and arbor.

    Milling Machine

    Definition:- A machine tool used for removing the


    undesirable material from a workpiece by feeding
    the workpiece past a rotating multipoint cutting tool
    called milling cutter.
    Principle of operation:
    Workpiece is clamped on the work table.
    Milling cutter is mounted on the arbor or spindle
    of milling machine.
     Milling cutter rotates at desired speed.
    Workpiece is fed against the rotating milling cutter
    in X,Y and Z directions.
    Milling cutter is made up of material harder than
    the workpiece.
    Principle of operation
    Features of milling
     Interrupted cutting: A material is removed for only part
    of the rotation of the milling cutter. As a result a cutting
    edge gets time to cool before it removes material again.
    Thus milling is a cooler operation than turning operation.

     Large material removal: Chip size is small but multiple


    cutting edges remove a large material in a single pass
    than turning.

     Variation in chip thickness: There is a cyclic variation


    in chip thickness from zero to maximum. This is harmful
    for surface finish and tool life.
    Classification
     Knee and column type:
    Horizontal, Vertical, Universal and Turret.
    These are general purpose milling machines with lot of
    flexibility.
     Production type: Simplex, Duplex, Triplex
    Suitable for large production of similar components, less
    flexibility.
     Plano millers: Suitable for Large size workpieces.
     Special purpose type: Suitable for gear profiling, spline
    shaft manufacturing e.g. keyway milling, spline shaft
    milling, etc.
    Horizontal milling machine
    Vertical milling machine
    Components of milling machine
     Base: lowermost part to support the machine
     Column: Vertical part fixed on the base.
     Knee: The elevating screw moves it up and down
     Saddle: Mounted on the knee, supports and provides
    cross feed to the worktable.
     Worktable: Movable table for clamping the workpiece.
     Over-arm: In horizontal milling machine to support the
    arbor.
     Spindle: Hollow shaft driven by motor to rotate milling
    cutter
     Arbor: In horizontal milling to hold and rotate milling
    cutter
    Operations performed on milling
    machine
     Plain milling: Up
    milling and down
    milling:- Machining is
    done by the teeth on
    the cylindrical surface
    of the cutter, Finished
    surface is parallel to
    the axis of the cutter
    Operations performed on milling
    machine
     Face milling: Machining is
    done by the teeth on the flat
    surface of the cutter, Finished
    surface is perpendicular to the
    axis of the cutter.
     Side milling: Similar to face
    milling
     Side and face milling:
    Machining is done by the teeth
    on the flat as well as cylindrical
    surface of the cutter, finished
    surfaces are perpendicular as
    well as parallel to the axis of
    the cutter.
    Operations performed on milling
    machine
     End milling: The machining is
    done by the cutter teeth on the
    end as well as periphery of the
    cutter. It is used for machining
    of complicated profiles.
     Profile milling: The cutter has
    outline same as that of the
    shape of the profile. It is used
    for gear teeth manufacturing.
     Gang milling: Two or more
    milling cutters are mounted on
    the arbor. Horizontal and
    vertical surfaces are machined
    simultaneously.
    Operations performed on milling
    machine
     Saw milling( Slitting):
    The thickness of cutter is
    small.(0.75 to 5 mm) It is
    used for cutting deep
    slots or for cutting off
    operations.
     Keyway milling:
    Keyways can be
    prepared by using side
    and face milling cutter on
    horizontal milling machine
    or end milling cutter on
    vertical milling machine.
    Peripheral and face milling
