The worksheet demonstrate the basic kinematic feautures of the contour and planar milling. The milling performs metal cutting by a co-ordinated movement between a rotating, multi-edge tool and a feed of a workpiece.
The edges of the milling cutter are helical lines, the rake surfaces of the tool are helicoids generated now simple by starigth line segments (color magenta).
The primer clearence surfaces are intersected from the cylinder of body of the tool by rake and seconder clearence surfaces (color green). The seconder clearence surfaces are helicoids generated by line segments too (color gold). For the end milling are used the rake surfaces displayed by planar elements (color red).
The real patches of the tool edges on the workpiece are prolated orthocycloides if the velocity v of the feed in the straigth line direction and the angular velocity of the tool have constant values. The common centordes of the equal orthocycloides are the straigth line and the circle by radii .
