No wonder, Machinists always run behind improving the milling process and two ways that are most prevalent include Climb Millingand Conventional MIllling. They essentially are the same metal cutting mill processes through a milling machine - or miller but they can actually achieve their end results by executing different approaches. Together, the toolpath creation strategy can improve milling processes up to 50% faster than conventional link IPM for climbing or down-climb methods. This article will look at both these essential cuts and propose how you might consider using tools in relation to one approach or the other, where possible. Climb Milling vs Conventional Milling The main difference between the two is that in one case (climb milling )directon of the cutting force and work feed are both occured at same side. In conventional milling, the cutter rotates opposite to direction of feed; it also has tendency for workpiece and chips portion downward cutting forcesthat adds feeding strength which can remove chip bottom face far from top side. Result is always chattering and consequently poor part finish, wear of tool. During climb milling, the cutter rotates in the direction of rotation during conventional milling but produces upward cutting forces that push away from the workpiece. Pros:Smooth, high quality surface finishes; increased tool life from less wear and tear on the cutting edges Less chatter Cons:blockquoteClimb milling also tends to produce a hot chip than traditional milling. If your machine isn't capable of tolerating higher levels of heat then you might have challenges with both effective cooling as well us forces pulling/changing work piece dimensions due thermal expansion
