Milling is a machining process that requires the involvement of a milling machine to take out material from a stationary workpiece via a rotating cutting tool. Milling keeps the workpiece stationary while ensuring that only the cutting tool is allowed to rotate. The above process is universal for all milling machines; however, there are distinctive types of milling machines, each bearing unique characteristics for different project types. A common way to categorize milling machines is based on the spindle’s orientation, i.e., vertical and horizontal. Let’s discover the main differences between horizontal and vertical milling machines.
