Question

Difference between vertical milling machine and universal milling machine

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Horizontal Mill

Horizontal milling machines have a spindle or cutters mounted on a horizontal arbor above an X-Y table. Horizontal mills are ideal for machining heavier pieces because the cutters have support from the arbor, as well as a bigger cross-section area than a vertical mill.

Vertical Mill

Vertical milling machines have a spindle that moves in a vertical orientation over the table, machining on the top and bottom sides of the object. Vertical milling machines are taller than they are wide since their operation is vertical, which works well when dealing with die sinking

Answer 2

Explanation:

Vertical milling machine:

In this machine, the spindle axis is aligned in vertical direction. The base of vertical milling machines is made up of cast iron as it has higher compressive strength.

Universal milling machine:

The base of this machine is made up of grey cast iron. In this machine, an arbor is used and it is inserted in spindle nose. The gear arrangement is inside the column.
