The Most Important Milling Machine Safety Precautions

By / December 16, 2022

Milling machines use rotating milling cutters and other cutting tools to remove material from metal, wood, and different workpieces. These tools often run at high cutting speeds, causing chips and other flying debris to exit the workpiece at dangerous speeds during the milling operation. Flying chips can cause an eye injury if they land in

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
