Milling is a machining operation intended to create or reproduce a piece in wood or metal from a block of raw material. To do this, the use of a milling machine is required, a tool that is both versatile and precise.
Various accessories are available for a milling machine and allow different finishing operations to be performed, such as machining an edge, or assembly by mortising wood. The most commonly used milling cutters by wood enthusiasts and professionals are sold individually or in sets. The main types include:
- the domino cutter, designed to mortise the wood to introduce a wooden peg for making domino joints;
- the dovetail cutter, which allows the creation of dovetail joints by interlocking two pieces cut at their ends;
- the chamfer cutter, which is mounted on the milling machine to create a beveled or chamfered edge;
- the trimming groove cutter, allowing the grooving of wooden pieces;
- the rounding cutter, used for finishing;
- the copying ring allows for copying any shape of wooden piece.
Furthermore, guiding devices, stop extensions, adapters accompanied by other engraving accessories may prove essential for crafting complex or artistic pieces. Thanks to these elements, both amateur hobbyists and professionals can imagine a multitude of assemblies or mounting solutions. The user can also use angle connectors or fastening elements. Tool holders and spare parts are available to replace defective accessories.
