2. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

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

   The original class of machine tools for milling was the milling machine (often called a mill). After the advent of computer numerical control (CNC) in the 1960s, milling machines evolved into machining centers : milling machines augmented by automatic tool changers, tool magazines or carousels, CNC capability, coolant systems, and enclosures.

3. CNC router - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_router

   CNC routers can perform the tasks of many carpentry shop machines such as the panel saw, the spindle moulder, and the boring machine. They can also cut joinery such as mortises and tenons. A CNC router is very similar in concept to a CNC milling machine. Instead of routing by hand, tool paths are controlled via computer numerical control.

4. Digital modeling and fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_modeling_and...

   CNC machines are classified according to the number of axes that they possess, with 3, 4 and 5 axis machines all being common, and industrial robots being described with having as many as 9 axes. CNC machines are specifically successful in milling materials such as plywood , plastics , foam board , and metal at a fast speed.

5. Machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

   A drill can remove the metal in the shape of a cylindrical hole. Other tools that may be used for metal removal are milling machines, saws, and grinding machines. Many of these same techniques are used in woodworking. Machining requires attention to many details for a workpiece to meet the specifications in the engineering drawings or blueprints.

6. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

   CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.

   Others, such as Henry Maudslay, James Nasmyth, and Joseph Whitworth, soon followed the path of expanding their entrepreneurship from manufactured end products and millwright work into the realm of building machine tools for sale. Eli Whitney milling machine, c. 1818. Important early machine tools included the slide rest lathe, screw-cutting ...
