8. Why is milling a versatile machining process?
Metal removal is performed through the relative motions of a rotating, multi-edge
cutter and multi-axis movement of the workpiece. Milling is a form of interrupted cutting where
the repeated cycles of entry and exit motions of the cutting tool accomplish the actual metal
removal and discontinuous chip generation.
9. What is meant by up-milling and down milling?
In up milling process, the cutter rotates opposite to the direction of feed of the workpiece
whereas in down milling, the cutter rotates in the same direction of travel of the workpiece.
10. What are the advantages of up milling processes?
(i) It does not require a backlash eliminator.
(ii) It is safe in operation due to separating forces between cutter and work.
(iii) It produces less wear on feed screw and nut due to the absence of pre-loaded.
(iv) Milled surface does not have built up edge.
