Horizontal Milling Machine

Horizontal Milling Machines have a spindle or cutters mounted on a horizontal arbor above an X-Y table. Horizontal mills are optimal for machining heavier pieces because the cutters have support from the arbor, as well as a bigger cross-section area than a vertical mill. The design of the horizontal milling machine allows for the rapid removal of material off of the piece one is machining. These types of milling machines can range in size from something small enough to fit on a tabletop to room-sized machines
