10 ISCAR MILLING AND MILLING CUTTERS DEFINEDIn addition, milling is used for cutting threads, gears, splines, and sprockets. However, these processes are typicallytreated as separate classes of technology(threading, gearing etc.).Fig. 8 shows the main milling operations, and Fig. 9 illustrates them schematically.Gang Milling andStraddle Milling In gang milling, a combined tool consisting of two or more milling cutters, mounted on the same arbor, is used to machine multiple surfaces of a workpiece simultaneously. Straddle milling, a variation of gang milling, employs two or more side-and-face milling cutters, mounted on a single arbor, to machine parallel planes of a workpiece. These planes are perpendicular to the arbor axis and feature an exact distance between them. To ensure the required accuracy of this distance, the milling cutters are spaced apart with the use of bushings and spacers.Fig. 8.
