milling machine
Rotary cutting tool
A milling machine is a power tool that uses rotating cutters to remove material from a workpiece, shaping metal, wood, or plastic with precision.
Unlike a drill press, which cuts only vertically, a milling machine moves the workpiece or cutter along multiple axes to create flat surfaces, slots, gears, and complex contours.
Essential in manufacturing and machining shops.
