We recently gave you some tips on purchasing your first milling machine, but what we didn’t touch on was CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems for milling machines (or other machines, like lathes).

The bulk of the milling machine market consists of half-lane machines weighing from 60,000 to 90,000 pounds and typically equipped with roughly 7-foot-wide cutting drums, which are powered by 600- to ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

Cat's PM-465 has simplified grade and slope control system that provides three operating menus. On-board electronics also regulate speed, steering and rotor drive, plus self-diagnostics. Milling ...

It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...

The five-axis milling process continues to expand and evolve as machine tools and tooling become more capable. As an example, I recently learned about a new workholding system introduced to the market ...

The market for milling machines is on the upswing, not because of hope for a magical federal infrastructure package, but because of local efforts to shore up aging pavements. A relatively small amount ...
