Learning to operate a milling machine well requires a gradual and orderly progress, focusing on practice, combined with the learning experience of Dongguan Huahang Xinma Metal Co.,Ltd engineer Mr Li, there are a few key points to experience.

First of all, it is important to find an experienced master to teach you. When in doubt, take the initiative to ask for advice, don’t miss the opportunity to learn because of embarrassment, and observe the master’s steps of clamping workpieces and debugging machine tools in daily life, and then practice with your own hands, so that the theory can be transformed into the ability to practice through repeated practice, which, after all, is the core of mastering skills.

Secondly, familiarize yourself with the characteristics and operation of the machine tool. First master the key function, speed adjustment and other basic operations, and then adjust the parameters according to the material, such as processing steel to lower the speed to ensure tool durability, processing of aluminum alloy can increase the speed to raise the efficiency of the process, to achieve efficient processing, the need for long-term practice and accumulate experience.

Furthermore, the skillful use of measuring instruments is the guarantee of qualified products. Vernier calipers, micrometers and other commonly used gauges, to master the correct reading method, check the zero before measuring, find the datum, to ensure that the data is accurate and timely detection of processing errors.

In addition, reasonable selection of tools and sharpening skills can improve efficiency. Use face milling cutter for milling plane, end milling cutter for milling groove, coated cutter for batch processing, and composite cutter for complex process. When the tool is worn or chipped, you can use the grinding wheel to sharpen the top angle of the drill bit and the cutting edge, which saves cost and can also be adapted to the processing needs.

The above has been expanded around your experience, if you feel that some parts still need to be adjusted, or have more details to add, please let me know.
