Sec 11
Plain Milling
Plain milling
Plain milling are used for machining flat and horizontal
surfaces
Plain milling operation can be otherwise called as slab
milling
According to the relative movement between the table
and the workpiece, the plain milling machine can be
classifies as up milling and down milling
Plain milling
In up milling ,the milling cutter rotates in a
direction opposite to the feed direction of the
workpiece
In up milling the material is removed by the
resultant force
In down milling , the direction of milling
cutter rotation is as same as the workpiece
feed direction
In down milling , the resultant force presses
the workpiece against the base
The cutter with high rake angle can be used
for down milling
Face Milling
Face Milling
In face milling, the tool axis is orthogonal to the surface
to be generated
In face milling , the tool does not cut with its face ,as the
name of the method indicates the face milling
The peripheral cutting edges removes metal primarily and
face cutting edges acts as secondary cutting edges
Straddle Milling
Straddle milling is an operation in
which a pair of side milling cutters
are used for machining two parallel
vertical surfaces of a workpiece
simultaneously.
The distance between the cutter
is adjusted by the spacers
Gang Milling
Gang Milling
Gange milling is the operation of machining several
surfaces of a workpiece simultaneously by feeding the
table against a number of milling cutters
This method save much machining time
In gange milling, the cutter speed is calculated from the
cutters of largest diameter
Form milling
The form milling is the operation of producing irregular
contours by using form cutters
Convex milling is one of the form milling operation
End Milling
End milling is an operation of producing
narrow slots ,grooves, ways and vertical
flat surfaces on the workpiece
End milling can be performed vertically
, horizontally, or at an angle in reference
to the table
Angular Milling
Angular Milling
The angular milling is the operation of producing an
angular surface on a workpiece
This angular groove way be single or double angle
T-slot milling
T-slot milling
In T-slot milling operation, first a plain slot is cut
on the workpiece by a side milling cutter , then,
the T-slot milling cutter is feed from the one end
of the workpiece .
