5. INTRODUCTION
Milling is the process of removing metal
from the work piece by using multipoint
cutter.
The machine used for this process is
known as milling machine.
When the workpiece is fed against the
cutter , the metal is removed in the form of
chips.
Good surface finish is obtained by milling.
6. Types of milling machine
1. Column and knee type :
a.} Plain milling machine,
b.} Universal milling machine,
c.} Omniversal milling machine,
d.} vertical milling machine,
2. Plano miller
3. Manufacturing milling machine
a.} Simplex milling machine,
b.} Duplex milling machine,
c.} Triplex milling machine,
4. Special type milling machines
a.} Rotary table milling machine,
b.} Planetary table milling
machine,
c.} Drum type milling machine,
d.} profile milling machine.
7. PLAIN MILLING MACHINE
As the spindle of this machine is
horizontal , it is also known as horizontal
milling machine . This machine has the
following important parts :
1. Base
2. Column
3. Knee
4. Saddle
5. Table
6. Spindle
7. Over arm
9. Parts description
BASE :
it is heavy casting made of grey cast iron . It
supports all other parts of the machine.
COLUMN:
A vertical hollow column is mounted on the base .
The column has guide ways on the top and its front face .
KNEE:
The knees mounted on the column . The saddle can
slide on these guide ways.
SADDLE :
The saddle is mounted on the guide ways of the
knee . The saddle can be moved towards or away from
the column.
10. TABLE :
The table is mounted on the dovetail
guide ways of the saddle. The table has T-
slots on its top surface to clamp the
workpiece.
SPINDLE :
It is mounted at the front face the
column. The front end of the spindle is
called nose. It has a hole with morse taper.
OVER ARM :
It is mounted In the guide ways on
the top of the column. The arbor is
supported by the yoke inserted into the
over arm.
12. CONSTRUCTION OF PLANO MILLER
Construction of plano miller is similar to
double housing planer.
The machine has a fixed bed.
The bed has longitudinal guide ways.
The table reciprocates longitudinally
over its guide ways.
There are two vertical columns one
each on the sides of the bed.
