MILLING MACHINE
▪ Milling machine is one of the most versatile conventional machine
tools with a wide range of metal cutting capability.
▪ A variety of complicated operations such as indexing (Gear Cutting),
Pocket Milling, and Slot Milling etc. can be carried out easily on a
milling machine due to their great capability.

PERIPHERAL MILLING OPERATION

Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology
PERIPHERAL MILLING OPERATION
• Slab milling – The basic form of peripheral milling in which the cutter width
extends beyond the workpiece on both sides;
• Slotting – Also called slot milling, in which the width of the cutter is less than
the workpiece width, creating a slot in the work (when the cutter is very thin,
this operation can be used to mill narrow slots or cut a work-part in two,
called saw milling);
• Side milling – Cutter machines the side of the workpiece;
• Straddle milling – The same as side milling, only cutting takes place on both
sides of the work;
• Form milling – The milling teeth have a special profile that determines the
shape of the slot that is cut in the work.
