What is milling machine?

A milling machine is a machine tool used to shape solid materials. It removes material by using rotating cutting tools (milling cutters) to advance (or feed) into the workpiece. Milling machines are versatile and commonly used in manufacturing for creating parts with complex shapes and features. They are used for operations such as drilling, boring, cutting gears, and producing slots.
