CNC milling machines are special computerized equipment used for flat, solid or even rough surfaces. These machines are used to bore, cut gears, produces slots and drill. There are different types of milling machines but they are usually classified in two: the vertical and horizontal spindle machine.

The horizontal spindle machine is very strong and powerful kind of machine. Multiple varieties of cutter are attached to the equipment to side, form, and face, to shape and remove materials. This equipment is commonly used to remove several materials using different cutter forms. It is used if vertical spindle machine is not appropriate to a specific job.

The base and frame are the major parts of the machine. This two are consist of different components. The reservoir is can be found in the base that is used to cut fluid. The knee is connected to the column and accommodates the feeding mechanisms. The columns function is to guide and supports the knee when it is vertically moved. The saddle is attached to the knee and can be cross travel. The table’s function is to support the workpiece. The traverse handwheel and crossfeed of the table is used to travel the table. The spindles function is drive and hold the attachments of the machine. The arbor holds the milling machine cutters.

The most commonly used type milling machine is the vertical spindle machine. You can usually found this equipment in common machine shops. The equipment reshapes the metal by revolving the cutter with a multiple tooth. The spindle is can be moved upward and down.

CNC milling machines are set together with power feed which is smoother and produces smooth surface than manual feed. The equipment also has programmed cooling system that controls the temperature of the machine by continue spraying the metals and attached tool by coolants.
