Corner milling machines are multipurpose adaptable tools used in metal fabrication. These machines are used to cut the material and shape it according to the requirement. The CNC milling cleans the chips from the workpiece. The corner milling makes the corners of the workpieces smooth. The inside portion of the corners of frames are shaped into smooth curves which increases the quality of the workpieces considerably.

Corner milling machines come in different designs and sizes, and their choice depends on the type of aluminum parts being fabricated. Some machines are capable of handling larger and thicker aluminum parts, while others are designed for more intricate jobs and precise cuts. Though milling machines come in a variety of shapes and sizes, their basic function are almost the same.

Components of Corner Milling Machine 

1.Column and base

The column and base are the main parts that support the other components of the machine

  2.Knee

This is a vertical positioning screw, also known as elevating screw.

 3. Saddle and Swivel Table

The Saddle is located on the knee. The table is supported by the saddle. The swivel table is attached to the saddle and evolves in both directions in a horizontal manner.

   4. Power Feed Mechanism

The Power Feed Mechanism of a corner milling machine controls the longitudinal, horizontal, and vertical feeds.

  5. Table

The table is the rectangular casting placed on top of the saddle

  6. Spindle

The shaft that holds and drives the cutting tools is called the spindle

  7. Overhanging Arm

The horizontal beam runs across the top face length of the column.

  8. Arbor Support

The arbor support is basically a casting with a bearing that is used to support the outer edge of the arbor.  It helps in aligning the arbor’s outer end with the spindle.

  9.Ram

The overhanging arm of the vertical machine is known as the ram.
