Milling machine

A milling machine is a machine tool used to machinesolidmaterials. Milling machines

are often classed in two basic forms, horizontal and vertical, which refers to the

orientation of the main spindle. Both types range in size from small, bench-mounted

devices to room-sized machines. Unlike a drill press, which holds the workpiece

stationary as the drill moves axially to penetrate the material, milling machines also move

the workpiece radially against the rotating milling cutter, which cuts on its sides as well

as its tip. Workpiece and cutter movement are precisely controlled to less than 0.001 in

(0.025 mm), usually by means of precision ground slides and leadscrews or analogous

technology. Milling machines may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or

digitally automated via computer numerical control (CNC).

Milling machines can perform a vast number of operations, from simple (e.g., slot and

keyway cutting, planing, drilling) to complex (e.g., contouring, diesinking). Cutting fluid

is often pumped to the cutting site to cool and lubricate the cut and to wash away theresulting swarf.

Vertical mill

In the vertical mill the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling cutters are held in the

spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be extended (or the table can be

raised/lowered, giving the same effect), allowing plunge cuts and drilling. There are two

subcategories of vertical mills: the bed mill and the turret mill.

A turret mill has a stationary spindle and the table is moved both perpendicular

and parallel to the spindle axis to accomplish cutting. The most common example

of this type is the Bridgeport, described below. Turret mills often have a quill

which allows the milling cutter to be raised and lowered in a manner similar to a

drill press. This type of machine provides two methods of cutting in the vertical

(Z) direction: by raising or lowering the quill, and by moving the knee.

In the bed mill, however, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle's axis,

while the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis.

Turret mills are generally considered by some to be more versatile of the two designs.

However, turret mills are only practical as long as the machine remains relatively small.

13/18

As machine size increases, moving the knee up and down requires considerable effort and

it also becomes difficult to reach the quill feed handle (if equipped). Therefore, larger

milling machines are usually of the bed type.

Also of note is a lighter machine, called a mill-drill. It is quite popular with hobbyists,

due to its small size and lower price. A mill-drill is similar to a small drill press but

equipped with an X-Y table. These are frequently of lower quality than other types of

machines.

Horizontal mill

A horizontal mill has the same sort ofxy table, but the cutters are mounted on a

horizontal arbor (see Arbor milling) across the table. Many horizontal mills also

feature a built-in rotary table that allows milling at various angles; this feature is

called a universal table. While endmills and the other types of tools available to a

vertical mill may be used in a horizontal mill, their real advantage lies in arbor-

mounted cutters, called side and face mills, which have a cross section rather like a

circular saw, but are generally wider and smaller in diameter. Because the cutters

have good support from the arbor and have a larger cross-sectional area than an end

mill, quite heavy cuts can be taken enabling rapid material removal rates. These areused to mill grooves and slots. Plain mills are used to shape flat surfaces. Several

cutters may be ganged together on the arbor to mill a complex shape of slots and

planes. Special cutters can also cut grooves, bevels, radii, or indeed any section

desired. These specialty cutters tend to be expensive. Simplex mills have one

spindle, and duplex mills have two. It is also easier to cut gears on a horizontal mill.

Some horizontal milling machines are equipped with a power-take-off provision on

the table. This allows the table feed to be synchronized to a rotary fixture, enabling

the milling of spiral features such ashypoid gears.

A lathe ( /le/) is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform

various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, ordeformation with tools

that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about anaxis of

rotation.

Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking,metal spinning, and glassworking. Lathes

can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel. Most

suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of

revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce

three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The material can be held in place by

either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to

accommodate varying material lengths. Other workholding methods include clamping the

work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or

dogs.

Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, cue

sticks, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, musical instruments (especially woodwind

instruments), crankshafts and camshafts.

Parts

Parts of a wood lathe

A lathe may or may not have a stand (or legs), which sits on the floor and elevates the

lathe bed to a working height. Some lathes are small and sit on a workbench or table,

and do not have a stand.

Almost all lathes have a bed, which is (almost always) a horizontal beam (although CNC

lathes commonly have an inclined or vertical beam for a bed to ensure that swarf, or

chips, falls free of the bed). Woodturning lathes specialised for turning large bowls often

have no bed or tailstock, merely a free-standing headstock and a cantilevered toolrest.

At one end of the bed (almost always the left, as the operator faces the lathe) is a

headstock. The headstock contains high-precision spinning bearings. Rotating within the

bearings is a horizontal axle, with an axis parallel to the bed, called the spindle. Spindles

are often hollow, and have exterior threads and/or an interior Morse taper on the

"inboard" (i.e., facing to the right / towards the bed) by which workholding accessories

may be mounted to the spindle. Spindles may also have exterior threads and/or an interior

taper at their "outboard" (i.e., facing away from the bed) end, and/or may have a

handwheel or other accessory mechanism on their outboard end. Spindles are powered,

and impart motion to the workpiece.

The spindle is driven, either by foot power from a treadle and flywheel or by a belt or

gear drive to a power source. In most modern lathes this power source is an integral

electric motor, often either in the headstock, to the left of the headstock, or beneath the

headstock, concealed in the stand.

In addition to the spindle and its bearings, the headstock often contains parts to convert

the motor speed into various spindle speeds. Various types of speed-changing

mechanism achieve this, from a cone pulley or step pulley, to a cone pulley with back

gear (which is essentially a low range, similar in net effect to the two-speed rear of a

truck), to an entire gear train similar to that of a manual-shift auto transmission. Some

motors have electronic rheostat-type speed controls, which obviates cone pulleys or

gears.

The counterpoint to the headstock is the tailstock, sometimes referred to as the loose

head, as it can be positioned at any convenient point on the bed, by undoing a locking

nut, sliding it to the required area, and then relocking it. The tailstock contains a barrel

which does not rotate, but can slide in and out parallel to the axis of the bed, and directly

in line with the headstock spindle. The barrel is hollow, and usually contains a taper to

facilitate the gripping of various type of tooling. Its most common uses are to hold a

hardened steel centre, which is used to support long thin shafts while turning, or to hold

drill bits for drilling axial holes in the work piece. Many other uses are possible.

Metalworking lathes have a carriage (comprising a saddle and apron) topped with a

cross-slide, which is a flat piece that sits crosswise on the bed, and can be cranked at

right angles to the bed. Sitting atop the cross slide is usually another slide called a

compound rest, which provides 2 additional axes of motion, rotary and linear. Atop that

sits a toolpost, which holds a cutting tool which removes material from the workpiece.

There may or may not be a leadscrew, which moves the cross-slide along the bed.

Woodturning and metal spinning lathes do not have cross-slides, but rather have banjos,which are flat pieces that sit crosswise on the bed. The position of a banjo can be adjusted

by hand; no gearing is involved. Ascending vertically from thebanjo is a toolpost, at the

top of which is a horizontal toolrest. In woodturning, hand tools are braced against the

tool rest and levered into the workpiece. In metal spinning, the further pin ascends
