This type of process can be done during the roughing or finishing phase of the overall operation. [3] Facing: is an operation used to face the part down to specified dimension. Facing can be done using end mills or a special face mill. [4] [5] [6] Pocketing/Slotting: this is a process to make a pocket on the inside of the part.
A third type also exists, a lighter, more versatile machine, called a mill-drill. The mill-drill is a close relative of the vertical mill and quite popular in light industry; and with hobbyists. A mill-drill is similar in basic configuration to a very heavy drill press, but equipped with an X-Y table and a much larger column.
Disc mill (or disk mill) Edge mill; End mill, a type of milling cutter used in milling in the machining sense; Expeller pressing (also called oil pressing) Hammermill, a mill using little hammers to crush the material; IsaMill, an energy-efficient mineral industry grinding mill that was jointly developed in the 1990s by Mount Isa Mines
Pavement milling (cold planing, asphalt milling, or profiling) is the process of removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge, or parking lot. Milling removes anywhere from just enough thickness to level and smooth the surface to a full depth removal.
A memoir that contains quite a bit of general history of the industry. Floud, Roderick C. (2006) [1976], The British Machine Tool Industry, 1850–1914, Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0-521-02555-3, LCCN 2006275684, OCLC 70251252. A monograph with a focus on history, economics, and import and export policy.
Mill finish is the surface texture (or finish) of metal after it exits a rolling mill, extrusion die, or drawing processes, including sheet, bar, plate, or structural shapes. This texture is usually rough and lacks lustre; it may have spots of oxidation or contamination with mill oil.
Facing on a milling machine is the process of cutting a flat surface perpendicular to the axes of the milling cutter. This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter. Face milling can be achieved with an end mill, but is often done with a face ...
Milling cutters are cutting tools typically used in milling machines or machining centres to perform milling operations (and occasionally in other machine tools). They remove material by their movement within the machine (e.g., a ball nose mill) or directly from the cutter's shape (e.g., a form tool such as a hobbing cutter).
