  2. Indexing head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_head

    Indexing head. Indexing head and tailstock set up on a milling machine's table. An indexing head, also known as a dividing head or spiral head, [1] is a specialized tool that allows a workpiece to be circularly indexed; that is, easily and precisely rotated to preset angles or circular divisions. Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Milling cutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_cutter

    Milling cutters may have from one to many teeth, with two, three and four being most common. Typically, the more teeth a cutter has, the more rapidly it can remove material. So, a 4-tooth cutter can remove material at twice the rate of a two-tooth cutter. Helix angle: The flutes of a milling cutter are almost always helical. If the flutes were ...

  5. Rotary table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table

    Rotary table. A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut work at exact intervals around a fixed (usually horizontal or vertical) axis. Some rotary tables allow the use of index plates for indexing operations, and some can also be fitted with dividing plates that enable ...

  6. End mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_mill

    An end mill is a type of milling cutter, a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. They can have several end configurations: round (ball), tapered, or straight are a few popular types. They are most commonly used in "milling machines" that move a piece of material against the end mill to remove chips of the material to create a ...

    Machining. CNC machine pouring coolant to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. Lathe machine. Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which ...
