Machine Shop 7 Milling Machine 4
1 Reaming Holes Reamer is used to make a drilled hole larger and smoother within 2/10000" of it's diameter
2 Boring Holes A Boring Head is used for making very accurate holes; also used on a quill producing more accurate holes
3 Milling a Slot End Mills used to mill slots in a piece
4 Milling a Shoulder Conventional & Climb Milling

A Shoulder or step milled into a piece Conventional Milling-part is fed against the motion of the tool; best for rough cuts Climb Milling-Part is being fed along with direction or rotation of the tool; better surface finish cuts

5 Cleaning the Machine

Very important in the use of milling machine; chips, dust, etc.. Needs to be cleaned Only a brush or vacuum should be used. Air should never be used; this risks blowing chips into machine and possibly damaging it Most accidents in a machine shop happen when bringing parts to a machine or when the machien is being cleaned

Machine Shop 6 Milling Machine 3

1 Milling Machine 3 Squaring a part, maching all surfaces so they are flat and perpendicular to one another and nominally to the part that will be milled; removing burrs
2 Squaring a Plate Squaring the sides of a part/plate to the dimensions of the finished milled part; remove burrs
3 Using the Edgefinder Used to locate the edge of a part relative to the spindle of the machine
4 Drilling Holes Drill press used to drill holes in parts; center drill milling and other drill bits; setting depth stop

1 Milling Machine
2 Square and Hex Collett Blocks-used to hold/clamp parts to machine features on 4 and 6 sides of a part, respectively 2 V Blocks Holding parts to machine features into parts and end of parts
3 Hold-down Clamps Used to hold large or irregularly shaped parts
4 Using Angle Blocks Used to hold materials to machine features not perpendicular on a part
5 Drill Press Vice Used to hold a part to machine a feature @ 45? angle and other positions/angles Also used with angle blocks to hold parts
6 Lathe Chuck With Vise Used to hold parts in the milling machine; not accurate method, but quick/convenient
7 Double Sided Tape Used to hold a part in a vice securely without distortion
8 Squaring High Aspect Ratio Parts Used to hold a part to be machined securely and squared
9 Right Angle Attachment A right angle gear box to mill features in an end of a larger/slender part that is clamped in the vice.
10 Slitting Saw A saw blade that is used to cut slots/slits/features in a part Can also be used with a right angle attachment
11 Rotary Table A bench/table attached to the bed of the machine used to machine circular parts, grooves, circles, segments Dial indicator and Co-Axe indicator uses to square/center the Table to the Y axes
12 5 C Collett Indexer Used to hold Colletts and position parts in up to 24 positions for various milling features
