Endmilling

Lest anyone forget, though, informational signs would tell the story of the site, and a memorial would stand “to those individuals and families affected by the exploration for uranium and its mining, milling, and remediation on the Colorado Plateau.”

An end mill is a helical rotating cutting tool that can be used for end milling operations.  They are often referred to as end mill bits, milling bits or end milling cutters.  There are many end mill types  which are defined by their design geometries.  These cutters are predominantly used on CNC and manual milling machines, but can also be used on router and drill press machines.  Center cutting mills can be used axially for drilling and plunging operations (axial milling), and can also be used in side milling operations (radial milling).  Non-center cutting endmills may only be used in side milling applications. Today, the most common material used for these tools is solid carbide, but HSS (high speed steel) and Cobalt (high speed steel with cobalt as an alloy) are also available.  These milling cutter tools have many different design configurations that create a range of high performance to general purpose mills.  They also come in inch, metric and miniature sizes ranging from the smallest to the largest diameters .  Coatings are also available which enhance the tool life and speed capabilities of the mill cutter.  Our suppliers are the manufacturers, and they ship the tools direcly from their facilities.

That sort of thing is to be expected—and, for the most part, ignored by the hordes of delegates and reporters milling about.

They have a milling machine and any milling machine, especially one like that that’s highly automated and robotic, it has a tendency to goo up over time, to get dirty.

ProPublica made numerous requests to Florida’s two largest sugar producers to film the harvesting and milling processes and conduct on-camera interviews with company representatives for this story.
