Machining process
#ost machining progresses through many stages$[=] each of which is implemented %y a /ariety of %asic and sophisticated strategies$ depending on the material and the software a/aila%le. he stages are9 Roughing his process %egins with raw stock$ known as %illet$ and cuts it /ery roughly to shape of the final model. )n milling$ the result often gi/es the appearance of terraces$ %ecause the strategy has taken ad/antage of the a%ility to cut the model hori+ontally. !ommon strategies are +ig,+ag clearing$ offset clearing$ plunge roughing$ rest,roughing. Semi-finishing his process %egins with a roughed part that une/enly appro0imates the model and cuts to within a fi0ed offset distance from the model. he semi,finishing pass must lea/e a small amount of material so the tool can cut accurately while finishing$ %ut not so little that the tool and material deflect instead of shearing. !ommon strategies are raster passes$ waterline passes$ constant step,o/er passes$ pencil milling. inishing 7inishing in/ol/es a slow pass across the material in /ery fine steps to produce the finished part. )n finishing$ the step %etween one pass and another is minimal. 7eed rates are low and spindle speeds are raised to produce an accurate surface. Contour milling )n milling applications on hardware with fi/e or more a0es$ a separate finishing process called contouring can %e performed. )nstead of stepping down in fine, grained increments to appro0imate a surface$ the workpiece is rotated to make the cutting surfaces of the tool tangent to the ideal part features. his produces an e0cellent surface finish with high dimensional accuracy.
