Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

A VMC (vertical machining center) is essentially a CNC vertical milling machine on steroids. Many CNC mills are just manual milling machines that have been converted to CNC control. They work nicely, ...

The two basic cutting tool types used in metalworking are the single-point and multi-point designs. Fundamentally, they are similar. By grouping a number of single point tools in a circular holder, ...

When the first Bantam Tools’ Milling Machine landed, it put PCB prototyping at the forefront with a smooth software and hardware pipeline for spinning out circuit boards in a manner of minutes. Now ...

Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...

The bulk of the milling machine market consists of half-lane machines weighing from 60,000 to 90,000 pounds and typically equipped with roughly 7-foot-wide cutting drums, which are powered by 600- to ...

Now firmly established as road-building technologies, cold milling and the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement have placed the providers of milling machines in a good position at this time. "There's ...

Milling machines, also known as cold planers, complete the same task today as they did 30 years ago, but they have seen several innovations over the years and are continuing to evolve. It was actually ...
