Designed to cut material up to a certain

hardness
Not good for Stainless, Titanium or Inconel, or
any other material with those hardness
qualities.
Has limited life before regrind
Cheap, compared to Carbide insert tools.

CARBIDE TOOLS AND INSERTS

CARBIDE TOOLS

A typical set of Carbide tools, these tools are

fitted with Carbide inserts

FORM TOOLS
The tool shapes illustrated on the previous

slide enable just a few turning operations to

be carried out successfully.
There are many other standard and non

standard shapes which may be obtained from

tool manufacturers.

Side cutting angle
The greater the angle, the more tool deflection
The smaller the angle, the bigger the chip and

more the tool will wear

Milling Introduction

Performing Engineering Operations

Level 2

Milling Machine
WHAT IS MILLING?
Milling is the process of cutting away material by feeding
a work piece past a rotating multiple tooth cutter.
The cutting action of the many teeth around the milling
cutter provides a fast method of machining.
The machined surface may be flat, angular, or curved.
The surface may also be milled to any combination of
shapes.

Types of Milling Machine

Milling machines can be broadly classified into the

following types:

Column and knee type of milling machines

Bed type
Rotary table
Tracer controlled

Horizontal milling
Vertical milling

Classification
Peripheral Milling
In peripheral (or slab) milling, the milled surface is generated by teeth
located on the periphery of the cutter body. The axis of cutter rotation
is generally in a plane parallel to the work piece surface to be
machined.
Face Milling
In face milling, the cutter is mounted on a spindle having an axis of
rotation perpendicular to the work piece surface. The milled surface
results from the action of cutting edges located on the periphery and
face of the cutter.
End Milling
The cutter in end milling generally rotates on an axis vertical to the
work piece. It can be tilted to machine tapered surfaces. Cutting teeth
are located on both the end face of the cutter and the periphery of the
cutter body.

Classification

Method of Milling
Up Milling
Up milling is also referred to as conventional milling. The direction of

the cutter rotation opposes the feed motion. For example, if the cutter
rotates clockwise , the work piece is fed to the right in up milling.

Down Milling
Down milling is also referred to as climb milling. The direction of

cutter rotation is same as the feed motion. For example, if the cutter
rotates counter clockwise , the work piece is fed to the right in down
milling.

Cutters with more

than two flutes are

used for cutting on

Conventional vs. climb milling

Climb Cutter rotates same

direction as feed

Conventional Cutter rotates

opposite direction of feed
