2. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

   Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [1] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [2] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [3] Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy ...

   This results in increased belt and bearing life as well as consistent accuracy with no external cooling fans required, increasing rigidity and vibration dampening properties. Bridgeport Machines, Inc., is a machine tool builder founded in 1938 in the United States of America. [1] It manufactures Milling machines and Lathes.

7. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   The history of numerical control (NC) began when the automation of machine tools first incorporated concepts of abstractly programmable logic, and it continues today with the ongoing evolution of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing tools that were modified with ...
