1.0 OBJECTIVES

At the end of the practical activity, will be able to:

1. Apply safety procedures while working in the workshop.
2. Familiarize the milling machine features, handling and operating milling machine.
3. Produce a part by using milling machine based on technical drawing.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The goal of this lab session is to familiarize with safety procedures in the workshop,
proper handling and operation of milling machine. This laboratory activity is designed to give
practical experience for students to produce precision part conforming to the specifications on
technical drawing using a manual milling machine.

3.0 THEORY
Milling is the process of cutting away material by feeding a work piece past a rotating
multiple tooth cutter. The cutting action of the many teeth around the milling cutter provides a
fast method of machining. The machined surface may be flat, angular, or curved. The surface
may also be milled to any combination of shapes. The machine for holding the work piece,
rotating the cutter, and feeding it is known as the milling machine.

In milling, the work piece is fed in a rotating milling cutter, which is a multi-point tool,
unlike a lathe, which uses a single point cutting. The tool used in milling is called the milling
cutter.

In addition to straight milling of flat and irregularly shaped surfaces, it can perform
gear and thread cutting, drilling, boring and slotting operations, which are normally handled
on machine tools designed specifically for these specific operations. Figure 1.0 shows typical
vertical milling machine and features.

4.0 SAFETY EQUIPMENTS

EQUIPMENTS FUNCTION

1. Goggle - To protective eyewear that usually

enclose or protect the area surrounding
the eye in order to prevent particulates,
water or chemicals from striking
the eyes.

2. Jacket
- To protect the body like a piece
personal protective equipment (PPE).

- To protects regular clothing that are

worn underneath.

3. Safety shoes
- To protects the foot from falling
objects or compression, usually
combined with a midsole plate to
protect against punctures from below.

5.0 TOOL USED

TOOL USED FUNCTIONS

1. Vertical Milling Machine

- The vertical milling machine is a
precision tool used for shaping and
fabrication by the removal of stock
typically from metallic work pieces.

2. Face mill Diameter 32-46 mm
3. End mill Diameters 6, 10, 12 mm 2-4
flutes
- Face mills are primarily used for
milling a face on the surface of a plate
or bar. They are predominantly used to
cut with the ends of the cutter rather
than their sides.
- End Mills are used for making shapes
and holes in a workpiece.
Page 6 of 19
4. Center Drill size (Small) Diameter 2-3 - To fix work-piece in a certain
position (mostly central position) to
the axis of rotation.

5. Drill
- To cut a hole of circular cross-
section in solid materials.

6. Vernier caliper - A Vernier caliper is a precision

instrument that measures internal
dimensions, outside dimensions, and
depth.

7. Flat File - Flat file is a tool used to remove fine

amounts of material from a
workpiece.

8. Parallel Bar - Parallels are commonly used to
support & accurately set jobs in a
vice or bolted to the machine table.

9. Height Gauge - A height gauge is a measuring

device used for determining
the height of objects, and for
marking of items to be worked on.

10. Copper Mallet - To used when forming sheet metal,

forcing tight-fitting parts together,
auto-body repairs, and more.

11. Technical Drawing - This drawing is helpful to carry out

this task.

After finish (5S)

-Always clean the workshop area. There should be no chips or fillings on the work table
or floor. Use brush,hand broom and provided cleaning solution. Place all endmills, drills
bits, wrenches, arbors, clamp,raw materials and vice grips back in the appropriate place.

7.0 DISCUSSION

From this experiment, the actual result were not accurate with the drawing result. It

maybe error occurred during this experiment. Firstly, the error that we found that was our Y-

axis at milling machine (No 7 machine) was in not good condition, the machine display at Y-

axis not showed the accurate result. So, we have problem during process in Y- axis. To avoid

this error, Y- axis of the milling machine need to be fix, so it will help the process in Y-axis

become more easily and get more accurate result.

Page 14 of 19
 Next, the error that we found was parallax error. Parallax error occurs when the

measurement of an object’s length is more or less than the true length because of your eye

being positioned at an angle to the measurement markings. For example, during this

experiment when measured the work piece by using vernier caliper or height gauge, the result

that we got was not accurate form the drawing result. So, to avoid from this error occur again,

our eyes need to be parallel during take the measurement result.

Lastly, the tool point of end mill was in not good condition. There is a crack at the

tool point of the end mill. When the end mill been used, it effect our work piece result such as

the reading was error and it also affects the nuances of our objects. To prevent this errors

occur again, the end mill need to be change. So, it will be helpful and reduce error during the

endmill process.

8.0 CONCLUSION

As the conclusion for this project, we have learned on how to operate the milling
machine. Besides that, we also know the purpose of the main parts of this machine. When
operating the machine, we must follow the instructor to avoid any incident. The knowledge
gained in this task on milling cutters assist us in determining the type of cutter(s) to employ
for a specific operation,to include the nomenclature, selection, use and care of milling cutters
whentasked to perform milling machine operations
We must check our Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) before start the operation to
avoid any serious incident. This project also help us to familiarize the milling machine
features, handling, ang operating the milling machine. Last but not least, we were able to
produce a part using milling machine base on technical drawing.
