🚀 Milling Methods in Machining | Complete Explanation
Milling is a core machining process used in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace. In this video, we explore three widely used milling methods:
---
1️⃣ Plane Milling
A fundamental method used to cut flat surfaces using various milling cutters. By fixing the workpiece and moving the cutter across its surface, a smooth, accurate, and refined finish is achieved. Ideal for: ✔ Flat surfaces ✔ T-slot cutters ✔ Wing-shaped slot cutters
---
2️⃣ Three-Dimensional Milling
Used for complex shapes and advanced geometries. This method employs different types of cutters to create gears, spirals, curved profiles, and intricate shapes. Common techniques: • End milling • Spiral milling • Contour milling • Profiling

3️⃣ Equally Divided Plane Milling
A precision method where a plane is divided into equal sections (4, 6, or 8). Used when extreme accuracy is required, such as in: ✔ Aerospace ✔ Watchmaking ✔ High-precision components The more segments, the higher the precision!

💡 Choosing the Right Milling Method The correct milling process depends on the shape, tolerance, and material of the workpiece. These three techniques are commonly used, but machinists choose based on specific project needs.
