Working Principle:
The workpiece is holding on the worktable of the machine. The table movement controls
the feed of workpiece against the rotating cutter. The cutter is mounted on a spindle or
arbor and revolves at high speed. Except for rotation the cutter has no other motion. As
the workpiece advances, the cutter teeth remove the metal from the surface of workpiece
and the desired shape is produced.
Duplex Milling
Duplex milling machine has double spindle heads, one on each side of the table.
Triplex Milling
Triplex milling machine has three spindle heads one each side of the table
and third one is mounted on the cross rail.
