| Milling machines - Types - Horizontal milling machine |
| The
Horizontal Milling Machine is a very robust and sturdy machine. A
variety of cutters are available to removed/shape material that is
normally held in a strong machine vice. This horizontal miller is used
when a vertical miller is less suitable. For instance, if a lot of
material has to be removed by the cutters or there is less of a need for
accuracy - a horizontal milling machine is chosen.
The cutter can be changed
very easily. The arbour bracket is removed by loosening nuts and bolts
that hold the arbour firmly in position. The arbour can be slid off the
over arm. The spacers are then removed as well as the original cutter.
The new cutter is placed in position, spacers slid back onto the arbour
and the arbour bracket tightened back in position. |
