What is milling and the classification of milling

Milling refers to the use of a rotating multi-bladed tool for cutting workpieces. It is a high-efficiency processing methods, can be processed into any surface shape. When Machining, the tool rotates (as the main movement), the workpiece moves (as feed motion), the workpiece can also be fixed, but at this point the rotating tool must also move (simultaneously complete the main movement and feed movement).

1. According to different cutting methods, milling is divided into three types: peripheral milling, face milling, peripheral - face milling.

Peripheral milling is only the cutting edges on the circumferential surface of the milling cutter participate in cutting, to produce a wavy-shape surface.

Face milling, the main cutting edge on the circumference of the milling cutter and the cutting edge of the end face of the milling cutter are simultaneously involved in cutting. The machined surface is produced by the auxiliary cutting edge, leaving a circular cutting mark on the surface of the workpiece.

Peripheral - face milling, the main cutting edge on the circumferential face of the milling cutter and the auxiliary cutting edge of the end face of the milling cutter each produce a machining surface.

2. According to the different milling surface shape, milling can be divided into plane milling and forming milling.

Plane milling, milling cutter feed along a straight line to produce a plane.

Forming milling, creating a forming surface on the workpiece that has the same shape as the cross section of the milling cutter.
