Modern milling machines are divided into two basic types: horizontal and vertical. This determines whether the machine’s spindle axis runs up and down, or side to side.

The vertical milling machine is a precision tool cutting machine used for various cutting tasks, including milling copper plates used in molds for foundry work.

CNC machines commonly used to create the geometric shapes required by customers are vertical milling machines, horizontal milling machines, and lathes.

The following presents tips on designing parts for manufacturability with vertical milling machines, horizontal milling machines, and lathes. For more information, check out Part 1 of this guide.
