Milling

1. Briefly describe the process of aligning a milling vise with the table movement using a dial indicator.

2. What is chip load?

3. Define IPM.

4. Calculate spindle speed and feed for the two following situations:

a. Use an HSS 1/2″-diameter three-flute endmill to mill 6061 aluminum 350 SFPM using a 0.0015″ chip load.

b. Use a carbide 3″-diameter eight-tooth shell mill to machine H13 tool steel at 200 SFPM using a 0.003″ chip load.
