Milling Basics: The Right Approach | Manufacturing Methods #3

Описание: In this episode, we cover milling by asking not “can it be milled?”, but when it is the right choice and when it creates unnecessary operational overhead.

After this video, you will:
See how small drawing details can become an operation chain in milling
Apply 3 practical criteria to choose milling more confidently
Understand key process limits and 3 common design mistakes
Use a 5-item quick checklist to improve manufacturability

Bridge:
Common GD&T topics for milled parts include flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, and position tolerance for holes.
For metrology, a caliper is great for quick checks, while an indicator helps detect surface and workholding-related variation fast.

Advanced training note:
We will go deeper into tool selection, toolpaths, tolerance analysis, and fixture design in the advanced training.
