GUIDE FOR PLANNING LESSONDue to the amount of material covered, it

would be advisable to divide this chapter intoseveral segments. Although it has been dividedinto six parts here, each classroom situation willdictate what division would work best.

Part I—Types of Milling MachinesSet up horizontal and vertical milling mac-

hines for demonstration purposes.Have the class read and study pages 285–293.

Review the assignment using ReproducibleMasters 17-1 and 17-2 as overhead transparenciesand/or handouts. Discuss and demonstrate thefollowing:

• How milling machines work.• Types of milling machines.• Difference between plain-type horizontal

milling machine and universal-type hori-zontal milling machine.

• Methods of milling machine control.• How to adjust cutting speed and feed.• Milling operations.• Milling safety practices.Briefly review the demonstrations. Provide

students/trainees with the opportunity to askquestions.

Part II—Milling CuttersSet up milling machines to demonstrate facing

and peripheral milling operations. Be sure the

entire class is wearing approved eye protection asthey view the demonstration. Also have a selectionof milling cutters on hand for the class to examine.Explain how to handle milling cutters safely.

Have students/trainees read and studypages 293–304. Review the assignment, useReproducible Master 17-3 as an overhead trans-parency and/or handout when discussing cutterhand. Discuss and demonstrate the following:

• Face milling and peripheral milling.• Milling cutter classification.• Milling cutter material.• End mills.• Face milling cutters.• Fly cutters.• Arbor milling cutters.• Miscellaneous milling cutters.• Care of milling cutters.• Methods of milling.• How to safely handle milling cutters.Briefly review the demonstrations. Provide

students/trainees with the opportunity to askquestions.

Part III—Holding and Driving CuttersHave class read and study pages 304–308

paying particular attention to the illustra-tions. Review the assignment and discuss thefollowing:

• Various types of arbors.• Installing and removing cutter holding

devices from the machines.• Using collets.• Care of cutter holding and driving devices.

Briefly review the demonstrations. Providestudents/trainees with the opportunity to askquestions.

Part IV—Milling Cutting Speeds and FeedsHave students/trainees read and study

pages 308–310. Review the assignment empha-sizing the importance of using the correctspeeds and feeds. Use Reproducible Masters17-5, 17-6, and 17-7 as overhead transparenciesand/or handouts. Discuss the following:

• Calculating the correct cutting speeds andfeeds.

• The purpose of cutting fluids and theirimportance in maintaining optimumcutting action.

Briefly review the demonstrations. Providestudents/trainees with the opportunity to askquestions. Reproducible Master 17-7 containsproblems that can be used as an in-class assign-ment of homework.

Part IV—Milling Work-Holding AttachmentsAn assortment of work-holding attachments

should be available for class examination.Have the class read and study pages

310–314. They should pay particular attention tothe illustrations. Review the assignment anddiscuss the following:

• The advantages and disadvantages of thevarious types of vises.

• When a magnetic chuck should be usedfor milling operations.

• The use of the rotary and index tables.• The dividing head and how it is set up

and used.• Safety procedures to be followed when

handling heavy work-holding attachments.Briefly review the demonstrations. Provide

students/trainees with the opportunity to askquestions.

Technical TermsReview the terms introduced in the chapter.

New terms can be assigned as a quiz, home-work, or extra credit. These terms are also listedat the beginning of the chapter.

Research and DevelopmentDiscuss the following topics in class or have

students complete projects on their own.1. Prepare a display panel that includes samples

of the various types of milling cutters. Includemanufacturers’ catalogs and price lists.

2. Develop a bulletin board using illustrationsof the various types of milling machines. Ifavailable, include how much each machinecosts.

3. The milling machine and its inventor, EliWhitney, played an important part in devel-oping mass production techniques. Preparea term paper on Whitney’s project of pro-ducing 10,000 muskets with interchangeableparts for the federal government in 1798.Include information on how this project ledto the invention of the milling machine.

4. Make a series of posters dealing with millingmachine safety.

5. Cutting fluids play an important part in anymachining operation. Secure samples ofcutting fluids used by industry and conducta series of experiments to show the qualityof surfaces machined dry and with the vari-ous cutting compounds. Your experimentshould include milling aluminum, brass,and steel.

6. Overhaul and paint a milling machine inyour training facility.

7. Demonstrate how to use a dividing head.8. Present a video on CNC milling machines.

Lead the discussion on what was seen.9. Milling machines were the first machine

tools to be automated. Do a research projecton automated milling machines. Includesamples of the programs, tapes, and special-ized drawings used.
