The Basics

Milling is a cutting process, derived from rotary filing, which emerged during the early 1800s. Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, was originally credited as the inventor of the first true milling machine but, beginning in the 1950s, that claim has come under fire for possible inaccuracy.

Regardless of who invented it first, the standard milling process remains the same: A workpiece is manoeuvred along two axes on a plane that is perpendicular to a rotary cutting tool. When lowered toward the workpiece, the cutting tool removes material from its surface. All milling, despite variations in configuration and specialized purpose, operate along these basic principles.

Milling can be separated into two separate primary processes: face milling and peripheral milling. In face milling, the cutting tool is oriented perpendicularly to the workpiece so that face, point, or front edge of the tool does the cutting. In peripheral milling, the sides or circumference of the tool is used to cut, which is particularly useful for milling deep slots, gear teeth, and other part features.
