  • Mill - rotate and move tool bits to remove material from a workpiece!

How Does It Work?

  • Movement of the milling bit usually is limited to 3 axes.

  • Stepper motors rotate their shafts in discrete increments
  • As the leadscrew rotates, the leadscrew nut moves in a line along the axis of rotation
