Milling is a method of machining metal and other materials using a cutter fitted with special teeth. Its rapid rotation removes excess material and gives the workpiece the required shape.
Metal milling is a complex process that requires modern, high-tech equipment and highly qualified machine operators. Depending on the task, different types of rotary cutters are used, including disk, form, face, end, and other cutters. Milling can be used to create three-dimensional parts, grooves, cavities, recesses, and holes. It can be performed as a standalone operation or as part of a larger process for manufacturing complex products.
Various materials are suitable for milling, but metal workpieces are used most often. Cutters of different diameters can be installed during machining. This makes it possible to process workpieces of different sizes efficiently and select the right cutter more precisely for a particular type of part.
Modern equipment uses automatic production-process control systems. This minimizes defects and makes the machining process more precise.
