Universal Milling Machine

Milling is a process that occurs when the cutting movement of the tool rotates around itself and the piece moves forward. Milling is carried out with the help of the teeth around the tool. The milling cutters are divided into two as circumferential and face milling methods. It is lifted by the teeth on the face of the tool. The milling cutters are named according to the spindle to which the tool is connected. The milling cutters with horizontal position of the spindle; horizontal milling to vertical one; It is called vertical milling. Also, both horizontal and vertical milling cutters are called Universal milling machine.

Milling cutters can be solid made of speed steel and tipped made of hard metal. While solid tools cannot be changed, end mills can be changed. An important issue in milling cutters is the number of teeth. The number of teeth is selected according to the material. In soft materials, large chips are removed and the number of teeth should be small and the gap between the teeth should be large. In hard materials, the number of teeth should be high and the gap between teeth should be less.
