2. What is Milling? Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. It covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.

3. MILLING MACHINE Milling machines are very versatile. They are usually used to machine flat surfaces on square or rectangular parts, but can also produce many unique and irregular surfaces.They can also be used to drill, bore, produce slots, pockets and many other shapes. A milling machine removes metal by rotating a multi-toothed cutter that is fed into the moving workpiece . The spindle can be fed up and down with a quill handle on the head. A milling machine is a power driven machine that cuts by means of a multitooth rotating cutter. The mill is constructed in such a manner that the fixed workpiece is fed into the rotating cutter. Varieties of cutters and holding devices allow a wide rage of cutting possibilities.

4. PRINCIPLE OF MILLING MACHINE Milling operates on the principle of rotary motion. A milling cutter is spun about an axis while a workpiece is advanced through it in such a way that the blades of the cutter are able to shave chips of material with each pass.
