Milling, like turning, is a machining process in which various types of milling machines are used. The milling cutter is movable and the workpiece is fixed. That is, we rotate the cutting tool for milling around the axis of the workpiece. Most milling machines do not use single-blade cutting tools and use multi-blade cutting tools. With the help of multiple blades, the cutting tool is able to remove more material from the workpiece than the lathe cutting tool, which usually has a single blade.
Lathe and milling machine
Among the machines with a history in various industries, which have been used in different types since the past. Various types of head, tail, plate, cutting diamond, carriage, etc.
special car
Special machines, depending on the materials for which they are intended, can be used in carpentry for shaping various types of wood or for metal work. Woodworking lathes are usually smaller
In general, a lathe is made up of different parts that are used to shape and cut different parts. The shape of the lathe is based on the rotational movement of the work piece and as we said
The difference between turning and milling
As we all know, turning and milling machines are completely different from each other in terms of shape, dimensions and size. In addition to this difference in appearance, the characteristic that separates these two processes from each other is their working method.
The cutting tool used in turning is usually single-bladed; On the other hand, the cutting tool used in milling can be single-bladed or multi-bladed. Despite all the differences between these two processes, both are used to remove material from the workpiece.
