There are two main processing forms of turning milling composite processing:
1. Contour machining when the workpiece is parallel to the tool axis
2. Surface machining when the workpiece is perpendicular to the tool axis
Contour turning milling compound machining is similar to spiral interpolation milling to process the inner and outer contour of rotating workpiece; However, the surface machining combined with turning and milling can only process the outer surface. Although turning milling compound machining looks very similar to turning, which is as simple as turning with a rotating milling cutter, these two machining methods are essentially different.
The cutting speed of turn milling compound machining is determined by the rotation speed of milling cutter; The cutting speed different from turning is defined by the rotating speed of the workpiece.
