Climb Milling vs Conventional Milling

When milling a workpiece, the cutting tool can be fed in different directions along the workpiece. Both directions will achieve material removal but can have significant effects on the cutting tool and the milled surface. Climb Milling Improved Finish and Tool Life Less Heat: Chips evacuate away from cutter faster. Less Deflection:

Cutting tooth enters the work piece in a manner that creates a chip that’s thicker at the beginning and thinner at the end.

Conventional Milling

Poor Finish and Tool Life

Increased Heat: Chips evacuate in front of the cutting tool, allowing for the chips to be recut and generate heat. Less Deflection: Cutting tooth enters the work piece in a rubbing manner that creates a chip that’s thinner at the beginning and thicker at the end.
