Schematic Diagram of a Machining Centre | Machines | Engineering

Machining centres are the most versatile machinery, NC controlled, multifunction, tool changer equipped horizontal or vertical spindle machines. NC Machining centres being faster and more accurate are replacing many-single-purpose machines. Structural elements of machining centres are of cast iron so as to provide excellent vibration dampening and rigidity. Axis slide ways are of rectangular cross-section, hardened and finish ground in [...]

Cutting Edges in Milling of Steels | Industries | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the influence of various angles on cutting edges in milling of steels. 1. Radial Rake Angle: It is obvious from Fig. 16.33 that radial rake angle is the angle between the blade (flute) face and a radial reference plane drawn from the cutter axis to the cutting edge. Its value depends upon the [...]
