When processing metal, turning and milling work is necessarily used. To accomplish this task, you need to have special equipment that performs the job quite accurately. Here each detail or assembly must be in exact accordance with the drawings received from the customer. Metal turning is the most demanded, effective and inexpensive method of influencing metal. For example, lathe-milling works in Kiev carried out by LLC CCI "VESTA", for many years are very popular and have long proven their reliability.
The milling cutter is the main tool involved in metal cutting. It moves at a certain speed around its own axis, and the part is fed to it. This part moves at a speed sufficient to remove the metal layer in the place where the drawing requires it. As a result, the workpiece is given the required shape. This process is called milling. This method can handle metal in different ways. This can be done vertically or horizontally. It depends on what you want to do with the part. Sometimes it is more convenient to apply the first method, and sometimes the result can be achieved only with the help of the second processing method. Or it may be such that some method simply cannot be applied. Today there are universal milling machines that can use both cutting positions.
Types of milling: shaped, face, end, peripheral. Each type has its own type of cutter. End milling makes it possible to perform a groove, groove, undercut. End Mill - Machining large areas. Shaped cutter - gears, worms, etc. There are counter and passing milling. It depends on the direction of rotation of the cutter relative to the workpiece. Roughing is performed by counter milling (removal of a large layer of metal), and finishing is performed by passing milling. These works allow you to get the perfect surface.
