DESIGN PROBLEM:

DRAW MANUALLY A CONVENTIONAL MILLING MACHINE SHOWING

ALL THE PARTS AND DESCRIBE THE FOLLOWING: WORK HOLDING
DEVICES, CUTTING HOLDING DEVICES AND THE TYPES OF MILLING
CUTTER. AND ALSO DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT OPERATIONS
PERFORMED IN A MILLING MACHINE. READ PROPERLY THE
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE SUBMISSION.
Work Holding Device
1. Plain flanged vise – with flanges that can be clamped to the table. It is similar
to the adjustable swivel vise; only this vise is fitted into the base which is
graduated in degrees and permit the jaws to be set at any angle on its full turn.
2. Universal swivel vise – has a double base; can be swiveled from 0 to 90
degrees in the vertical plane.
3. Cam lock vise – has a variety of clamping ranges designed to hold pieces for
machining duplicate parts.
4. Dividing head – known as indexing head; used to hold material dividing the
surface into equally distributed sections.
5. Rotary attachment – used for circular milling of recesses, T-slots, and
semicircular pockets of sections. The attachment may be fitted with an
indexing
unit. It can be driven manually or automatically.
6. Universal chuck – usually fastened to the indexing head spindle to hold round
workpieces that are required to be machined.
7. Tilting attachment – has a 9” x 18” working surface as standard size that can
be tilted 45o in either direction. It is key ward to the table. A vise may hold the
attachment to the workpiece, or the workpiece may be mounted directly to the
attachment.

Cutting Holding Device

1. Spindle – designed to hold and drive the cutter.
2. Arbor – may either have a pilot which fits into a bearing or have no pilot but
supported by a bearing sleeve which fits over the arbor. The arbor is used to
hold milling cutters.
3. Draw-in bar – used to draw the arbor in place and hold it in position by
tightening the nut.
4. Key – prevents the cutter from slipping in the arbor.
5. Spacing collar – used to provide proper spacing in locating the cutter and
holding it in position to the arbor.
6. Bearing sleeve – provides support for the arbor and is usually keyed to the
arbor in the same manner as the spacing collar.
7. Adapter – permits the use of a larger variety of tools and toolholder devices.
8. Collet and sleeve – take up the space between the tapered hole in the
spindle and the tapered shank of the end mill.
9. Cam lock – used to give positive locking, positive drive, and quick release to
end mills and other like this.
10. Fly cutter arbor – mounted in the arbor and clamped with set screw.

Types of Milling Cutter

1. Plain milling cutter – toothed cylinder used to produce a flat surface parallel to
its axis.
2. Side milling cutter – is narrow and has teeth on both sides as well as on the
periphery. A side milling cutter over than 8” in diameter is usually made
within
inserted teeth.
3. Angular milling cutter – a cutter which teeth are neither parallel or
perpendicular to the cutting axis but at an oblique angle.
4. End mill – has teeth on the cutting end, face and periphery. Two common
styles are: (a) solid end mill which is made of tapered or straight shanks at one
end and cutting teeth at the other; (b) shell end mill which has end and
peripheral teeth.
5. Formed cutter – either a concave or a convex cutter having faces that are
designed to sharpen by grinding.
6. Saw – usually thin which belongs to a plain milling cutter.
7. Fly cutter – is grounded depending upon the shape of work intended to be
milled; has only one cutting edge.
8. Gear tooth cutter – used for cutting gear teeth. It has a variety of shapes and
sizes commonly indicated by a number or a letter depending on the form and
number of teeth of gears to be cut.
9. Key seat cutter – usually has staggered teeth to improve its cutting action;
commonly used for cutting keyways.
10. T-slot cutter – belongs to a side milling cutter having a tapered shank and
staggered tooth. After using an end mill or a plain milling cutter, a T-slot
cutter is used to remove the wider section in the bottom.
11. Face milling cutter – usually disk-shaped, having an inserted teeth commonly
made in tungsten carbide or high-speed steel.
Realization Page:

During the time I was making my plate I learned that having multiple sources of the

thing that was asked to be drawn is helpful as it gives me the student a lot more

creativity on how to start or approach the assigned task properly. It also gives me a lot

more flexibility on the information I acquire since I have plenty of sources. It also

helps me understand how each part of the milling machine work, and what the

purpose of said part is. Suggestion would be a sample plate where in the format in

which the plate is drawn can be given to guide us students
