What is a milling machine?
A milling machine is machine used to remove material from a workpiece by feeding the workpiece against a multi-bladed or -pointed cutting tool. Milling machines are taller than lathes, but they also have a shorter length, allowing manufacturing companies to place them in small spaces.

Aside from shape and size, though, the primary difference between lathes and milling machines is their method of operation. With lathes, the workpiece rotates against a stationary cutting tool. With milling machines, a stationary workpiece is exposed to a rotating cutting tool.

Additionally, the cutting tool used in milling machines usually has several blades or points. In comparison, the cutting tool used in lathes usually has a single blade. With multiple blades or points, milling machines are able to grind away material from the workpiece.

Milling processes can be categories as either face or peripheral. Face milling is characterized by a cutting action around the outside of the cutting tool, whereas peripheral milling is characterized by a cutting action across the circumference of the cutting tool.

A milling machine is a tool consisting of cutters which have numerous functions in the metal industry. The milling machine is well known for its adjustable feature for doing a precise cut. Hence, it has become an important and advanced machine amongst the manufacturer. The idea of regulating cutters at the various range of speed to form a shape acknowledges as a deep subject which matters to those who serve as a manufacturer in the market.

Milling machines are used mainly for shaping and cutting solid materials such as metal, wood, plastics or even brass. These machines differs from a lathe in that the tool head itself rotates at high speed whereas with a lathe the part itself that is being worked on rotates. This sort of machinery varies greatly in terms of cost and in the specifications of the machine. Hobby machines will obviously be a lot more cost effective than their industrial counterparts.

So we will be a taking a look at some of the milling machine features and some of the important things to consider when looking to buy a machine for home or industrial use.

What is the difference between a mill and a lathe?
Both lathes and milling machines are used to remove material from a workpiece. Lathes, however, involve rotating a workpiece against a single-bladed cutting tool, whereas milling machines involve rotating a multi-bladed or -pointed cutting tool against a stationary workpiece.
What is milling in woodworking?
A mill allows carpenters to cut timber into manageable, usable pieces. There are many businesses that specialize in this task, which are also referred to as mills. Mills cut lumber, molding and other wood products such as doors and pallets.
What is the purpose of milling?
The milling technique is used to machine and produce workpieces made of free-cutting material.

Milling is a metal cutting operation with the cutting done by a single-edged or multi-edged tool, the milling cutter.

The milling cutter performs a rotary movement (primary motion) and the workpiece a linear movement (secondary motion).

The milling technique is used to produce, mainly on prismatic components, flat, curved, parallel, stepped, square and inclined faces as well as slots, grooves, threads and tooth systems.

There are two basic milling methods: plain (or cylindrical) milling and face (or end) milling. Either method may be up-cut (or conventional) milling or down-cut (or climb-cut) milling. Plain milling and face milling differ with respect to the milling cutters or cutting edges (teeth) used in the cutters, respectively, and to the direction of feed.

Plain milling (cylindrical milling)

The peripheral teeth are cutting.
 
What are the types of milling machine?
Milling machines come in many forms including column, turret, c-frame, horizontal tracer controlled, bed type and planer-style. These machines can be manual or CNC (computer numerical control). CNC milling machines are computer automated versions of the manual milling machines. 

Let’s look at the different milling machine types:

1. Column Milling Machines 
Often used for creating car parts, a column milling machine is one of the simplest types of milling machine. They consist of 5 key parts the worktable, head, saddle, knee, and over arm and use a vertically suspended drill.
This is the most common milling machine, which has 5 basic components, They are the work table, saddle, head, knee, and over arm. Considered as the simplest machine type, its cutting device is vertically suspended to allow drilling of metals. This is typically used when creating car parts because it is small and handy.

2. Turret Milling Machines
A turret machine is a versatile milling machine which can be used in the creation of many parts. Also, known as a Bridgeport-type milling machine, these machines can be repositioned opening a broader range of uses. 
The turret is also known as the Bridgeport-type and can be repositioned anytime you want making this machine very functional. Its versatility makes it more practical since a variety of products can be made in addition to car parts.

3. C-Frame Milling Machines
C-frame milling machines are sturdy and powerful. They use a hydraulic motor and are best utilised in industrial settings. 
Because it is sturdier than a turret, this type is popular in industrial settings. It comes with a hydraulic motor, which makes it very powerful.

4. Horizontal Milling Machines
Named as it is positioned horizontal to the ground, horizontal milling machines work by moving the bench the workpiece is placed on sideways whilst the cutting tool moves vertically. 
This machine runs parallel to the ground. The table from which the object to be worked on is placed moves sideways while the cutting device goes up and down.

5. Tracer Controlled Milling Machines
Designed to produce duplicate parts based on a master model, tracer controlled milling machines can be used for machining grooves and contoured surfaces.
This type of machine has the ability to reproduce parts based on a master model. Most of the industrial sectors, especially the automotive industry, choose this type of machine because it make production and specialization of machine parts easier. With the vast classifications of milling machines, you need to choose the one you need according to how you intend to use it. However if you find it difficult to decide, do not hesitate to seek the help of a specialist who can help you select the one that will give you maximum benefits.

6. Bed Type Milling Machines
The worktable of a bed type milling machine is placed on the bed itself, as opposed to on top as with other milling machines. On a bed type machine, the knee is omitted to allow for longitudinal movement.
The worktable is located on the bed itself, instead of being paced on top, its usual position. The knee part of the machine is omitted to allow movement in a longitudinal direction.

7. Planer-Style Milling Machines
A planer-style milling machine is similar to a bed type machine. However, this type of milling machine offers more milling capabilities due to the addition of cutters and heads.
This machine type is basically the same as the bed mill. However, the planner-style includes cutters and heads that allow for a wider range of milling actions.
 
What is milling machine operation?
In many ways, milling machines are used to achieve similar results to lathes. However, unlike lathes which rotate the workpiece, milling machines hold the workpiece still using a vice or fixture. Milling machines use cylindrical tools such as drills and endmills to remove material. Milling machines are primarily used on flat surfaces though can work with some irregular surfaces too.  
What is the difference between drilling and milling?
Drilling cuts into a surface vertically, while milling does the same with the added bonus of cutting horizontally with the side of the bit. You can use either a drill press or a powered hand drill for drilling, but milling is only done with a milling machine.

Drills use up and down motions with a spinning bit to dig holes into a surface. The same motion is used by the bits of a milling machine, but they also cut sideways to widen a hole or taper it off.
Milling machines allow you to use drill bits to cut up and down, but drilling machines don’t allow you to cut horizontally with milling bits. For this reason, it’s easy to present the idea that milling machines have a wider range of uses. It’s also worth noting that milling machines have a secure hold for regular drill bits.
Most milling machines have tables to secure work into place, whereas this isn’t always the case with simple drill presses. Even if they do come with vices, they’re not as effective as the T-brace that milling machines come stock with.

You can use a compact drill to be more mobile with a drill press, but the smallest milling machine is still very bulky. You won’t be able to pack a milling machine into a backpack as you could with a portable battery-powered drill.
Milling machines are often operated with computers these days. Drill presses use manual movements to switch the placement of the table and to operate the drill. The computer that milling machines use also moves the table to get a precise cut.
Milling machines are only used to cut through metal, whereas drills can cut through metal, wood, plastic, and many other surfaces.
