Introduction
Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to
remove material from a work piece by advancing 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.
Milling can be done with a wide range of machine tools. The
original class of machine tools for milling was the milling
machine. After the advent of Computer Numerical Control
(CNC), milling machines evolved into machining centers
generally classified as Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) and
Horizontal Machining Centers (HMCs). The integration of
milling into turning environments and of turning into milling
environments, begun with live tooling for lathes and the
occasional use of mills for turning operations, led to a new class
of machine tools, Multitasking Machines (MTMs), which are
purpose-built to provide for a default machining strategy of
using any combination of milling and turning within the same
work envelope.

Safety Rules
1. Do not make contact with the revolving cutter.
2. Place a wooden pad or suitable cover over the table
surface to protect it from possible damage.
3. Use the buddy system when moving heavy attachments.
4. Do not attempt to tighten arbor nuts using machine power.
5. When installing or removing milling cutters, always hold
them with a rag to prevent cutting your hands.
6. While setting up work, install the cutter last to avoid being
cut.
7. Never adjust the work piece or work mounting devices
when the machine is operating
8. Chips should be removed from the work piece with an
appropriate rake and a brush.
