Machine milling is a process where a milling machine shapes metals or other solid materials by using a rotating cutter. Machine milling uses equipment that may be manually operated, mechanically automated, or work in tandem with a computer in a digitally automated machine milling process called computer numerical control. Machine milling is accomplished by using a rotating cutter which rotates on a spindle axis like a drill. The piece of material to be formed is affixed to a table. The milling operation moves the rotating cutter sideways as well as in and out and the cutter and the piece being worked on move in tandem to each other. The movement of the cutter is precise and controlled with slides and lead screws to insure that the finished result is a precise match. Sometimes the rotating cutter stays in one place and the table is moved so that the workpiece takes proper shape and form.
