Basic Machine Shop Technology - Milling

Introduction

Welcome to Social Service of America's Basic Machine Shop Technology - Milling page. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of milling machines and their role in machine shops, providing you with valuable knowledge and insights into this essential aspect of machining.

What is Milling?

Milling is a machining process used to remove material from a workpiece by advancing a rotary cutter against it. This process produces highly accurate and precise results, making it a fundamental technique in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace.

With milling machines, different types of cutting tools and techniques can be employed to shape and create intricate components, ranging from simple flat surfaces to complex shapes and contours.

In our Basic Machine Shop Technology - Milling program, we offer comprehensive training on how to operate milling machines effectively and safely, ensuring that you gain the necessary skills to thrive in this field.

Processes and Techniques

Our program covers a wide range of milling processes and techniques, equipping you with a solid foundation in this specialized area of machine shop technology. Some key topics we explore include:

1. Face Milling

Face milling is a common milling operation used to create flat surfaces on a workpiece. It involves the removal of material from the face of the workpiece using a face milling cutter.

2. Peripheral Milling

Peripheral milling, also known as slab milling, involves the removal of material from the periphery (outside edge) of a workpiece. This process is often used to create slots, grooves, and pockets.

3. End Milling

End milling is a versatile milling operation where the cutting tool is rotated against the workpiece, enabling the creation of features such as flat surfaces, chamfers, and contour profiles. Various types of end mills can be used to achieve different results.

Our expert instructors will guide you through each of these processes, providing hands-on training and practical insights into optimizing milling operations for efficiency and precision.
