    CNC Milling is one of the most common machining processes used in manufacturing to remove material from a workpiece. There are two main types of milling: climb milling and conventional milling. Both involve using a rotating multi-toothed cutting tool called an end mill to remove material from the workpiece as it travels laterally across the surface. The key difference is the direction of cutter rotation relative to the feed direction of the workpiece. What is Climb Milling? Milling is one of the most common machining processes used in manufacturing to remove material from a wo......
