Description
On a milling machine, parts are created by removing material from a solid block (or workpiece) using a variety of spinning cutting tools.
A 3-axis vertical milling machine has a variable-speed vertical spindle and a heavy table that translates underneath it. A metal workpiece is clamped to the table and a cutting tool is held in the spindle. Cutting is done by moving the workpiece against the spinning tool, or by lowering the spinning tool into the workpiece.
A CNC milling machine operates by computer control. Motors are attached to the movement mechanics allowing the computer to make precision-machined parts automatically.
