4.6.4 Edge Milling
In all cases, when the chuck is working to full capacity, it is better to climb mill the work
piece into the side and end stops. However, the centerline of the cutter in relation to the
edge of the work piece will have an adverse affect to the ultimate direction of the force
exerted to the work piece.
Note that the workpiece entry force and exit force directions are different. Therefore, for
vertical edge milling, the cutting depth recommended limit is half the diameter of the
cutter.
