Do you know what are the main type of milling machines and how do they differ in terms of their orientation?

Milling machines are classified based on their orientation and other specifications. The two primary orientations are vertical and horizontal, referring to the orientation of the rotating spindle upon which the cutter is mounted.

1. Vertical Milling Machines: In these machines, the spindle is mounted vertically. They are adapted for machining grooves, slots, and flat surfaces. The spindle head can be clamped to the vertical column, allowing the milling cutter fixed on the spindle to work on angular surfaces.

2. Horizontal Milling Machines: These machines have a horizontal spindle. They are stronger than vertical milling machines and the table feeding can be done either by hand or power. The table can be fed in a longitudinal, cross, or vertical direction.

There are also other types of milling machines that are classified based on their construction and operation, such as:

1. Column and Knee Type Milling Machines: These machines are the most used type of milling machine where the table is mounted on the knee-casting which in turn is mounted on the vertical slides of the main column.

2. Fixed Bed Type Milling Machines: These machines are large, heavy, and rigid in construction. The table is mounted directly on the ways of a fixed bed.

3. Rotary Table Milling Machines
