Once upon a time,
milling machines were only relevant to large garages and factories.
In a milling machine, the cutter is rotating due to workpiece is fed against it. This machine can hold more than one tool at a time. The cutter rotates at high speed, and because of the many cutting edges, it removes metal at a very fast rate.
The machine can also hold one or a number of cutters at a time. Thus, the milling machine is one of the most important machines in the workshop. In this machine, all the operations can perform with high accuracy.
The metal removal rate is high as compared to a lathe machine, planner machine, and shaper machine. Milling machines has good accuracy and a better surface finish. This is why a milling machine finds wide application in production work.
