Drilling and milling are two crucial metalworking processes in modern manufacturing. Although they operate in different ways, both play an integral role in shaping and refining workpieces.
Drilling is the process of creating through or blind holes in a workpiece by forcing a cutting tool that rotates around its own axis into the workpiece. The drilling machine is the main equipment used to perform this operation, which is accomplished by rotating the drill bit and applying pressure to the work-piece. The drill bit has one or more cutting edges that remove material as it rotates to form the desired hole.
Milling is a metal removal process accomplished using a multi-flute rotary tool (milling cutter). Unlike drilling, which is a single-point cut, milling removes material through a combination of rotary motion of the milling cutter and linear motion of the workpiece. This process produces flat surfaces, contoured surfaces, and helical surfaces, and is widely used in the manufacture of complex shaped parts.You can feel confident in turning to YIZGEAR for quality milling and drilling to precise geometries.
