The exact parameters of the process usually depend on the type of material. For most ferrous metals like iron and steel, the process includes heating until the material glows white. The temperature is maintained for a short and then the metal is left to cool in still air (usually at room temperature). Brass and copper on the other hand can also be cooled quickly by quenching in water. However, aluminum is a non-heat-treatable metal and can be annealed by torching.

This method is characterized by the use of compressive and shear stresses alone to produce the shape of metal bars. This method gives an arguably better surface effect than regular milling, although extruded aluminum and metals will usually exhibit more or less similar roughness and texture. In Extrusion processes, metal billets will often be wire brushed, machined, or chemically cleaned in order to achieve a better surface finish effect, while also providing freedom of form during the design process.

The supply of raw metal bars or billets, as well as other materials, often relies on a uniform standard. This is established in order to provide the freedom required during the design process, as well as a reliable model and measurement to consistently mill the material in a form familiar to most manufacturing operations and industries. The surface texture of a mill finish is recognizable by most manufacturers. With the recent developments in technology and industry, the potential of milling operations, in terms of surface enhancement will only grow.

Although a mill finish is the most common finish that metal is supplied in, an anodized finish is more sought after for raw metal bars, mainly because of the corrosion resistance that mill finishes don’t provide. This is more common in regions where the natural weather and environment can deteriorate metals (humidity or exposure to water). In most dry weathered regions, a mill finish is a standard.

Drilling Products – Jobber Drill Bits Jobber drills or jobber length drill bits are the most commonly used drill bits for most jobs. They are shorter than standard drill bits and are less likely to break off. This makes them good for hand drills and drilling holes in a thin material. Parts of a drill bit: Drill bits have three primary parts, the point, the body and the shank. The drill bits shank is inserted into the chuck of the drill and secured. The point is where the cutting element is located and the body has channels cut into it called flutes, this helps remove material as you drill. The length of the body is important to how the drill bit performs, longer drill bits are great for drilling into thick materials but the length sacrifices the rigidity of the bit making it more likely to break. Short drill bits are an excellent choice for precision work where the workpiece is clamped in a drill press or to a table. The downside is that shorter drills do not work well on thicker materials. The jobber length drill bit offers the best of both worlds. They are 9 to 14 times the length of the diameter, these drill bits are long enough to drill into most material thicknesses yet, short enough to provide durability and rigidity. What differences do coatings make? Industrial Tool Supply offers two types of coatings on its drill bits, black oxide, and titanium. You might be asking if one is better than the other or is it application specific; both coatings improve the performance of the drill bit but in different ways. Black Oxide: Also called “blackening” black oxide is a conversion coating used on metal that adds a layer of corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. The coating helps reduce friction between the workpiece and the drill bit improving the effectiveness of drilling and making the bit last longer. Many tradesmen recommend black oxide bits as being the best general-purpose drill bits. These bits are also ideal for good performance in soft metal, low alloy steel, plastic, and wood.   Titanium: These bits are coated with titanium nitride (TiN) which increases the hardness of the bit providing a thermal barrier by reducing friction. This also makes titanium drill bits last three to six times longer than standard uncoated drill bits.  Drilling Safety Tips: High-speed drills are effective tools and make drilling fast, accurate, and easy but they also pose a hazard if not properly used. Industrial Tool Supply offers these safety tips for both the beginner and the seasoned professional to ensure that your projects go smoothly without incidents. Check Before You Drill!Especially when drilling into a wall, panel box or any surface that may be hiding electrical connections and the same goes for water and gas pipes. There are many detectors available on the market that can warn you of water or electrical hazards behind a wall. Protective Gear:Many people don’t realize how far or how fast a drill can send flying debris, especially into their face. Take a few minutes to put on protective glasses or a face mask to help stop dust and flying debris from getting in your eyes and mouth. Make sure you have nothing on that can get caught up in the rotating drill, things like loose clothing or dangling jewelry can easily create a serious situation. Using the Right Drill Bit: Make sure that the drill bit you’re  about to use is designed for the material you’re drilling into. Using the wrong type of drill bit can damage the workpiece or even damage the drill or worse, damage you. Drill bits get hot! Really hot! Drill bits get very hot after drilling and pose a burn hazard. Always let the drill bit cool before removing the bit from the chuck. Check your work area! Before drilling make sure your cords won’t get caught on items around your work area and that your cord is long enough to complete your work. Make sure the area your working in is clear of debris and that your direct drilling area is clean and well-marked. This advice is both for the work quality and your personal safety. Jacobs Chucks: Chucks are important to drilling in that these tools help hold and secure the drill bit not just for safety reasons but for accuracy and efficiency.

Milling is a machining process that relies on rotary cutters. With each pass along the material’s surface, the rotary cutters remove material from the workpiece, shaving off chips, or swarf. The speed and feed rate of the cutter depend on the type of material. Usually, harder metals like aluminum or steel usually require slower feed rates than softer metals like copper.

The resulting surface finish of metal parts will greatly vary from one mill to another, and also from one stock of metal parts, produced at the same time, to another. The process itself, be it milling or extrusion will greatly affect the characteristics of the metal bars’ surface finish. For example, in rolling mills, the metal bars will usually exhibit a dark, grainy, and non-reflective finish, and surface oxidation from being hot worked. Unlike extrusion mills, where metal bars will exhibit die marks along the length of the stock. Recent developments in manufacturing enable mills to greatly enhance the surface finish of their raw metals. Adding polishing rollers can add brightness and a finer finish to the metal’s surface.

In most manufacturing operations, the last process a substrate goes through before the surface finish is milling. During this step, the overall rough shape of the component is created, leaving a rough and coarse texture to the workpiece. This is most common for aluminum and most metals but is also a standard process for other materials used in subtractive manufacturing.

Mill finished metal parts will always exhibit milling or cutting lines and marks. The more prominent ones can often remain evident even after the final installation of the project. For many uses, the regular mill finish is not optimal. For example in many architectural uses, an anodized finish is preferred in the production of metal bars, as it’s more uniform in surface, which can complement the appearance of other metals used in construction and architecture.

Drill bits have three primary parts, the point, the body and the shank. The drill bits shank is inserted into the chuck of the drill and secured. The point is where the cutting element is located and the body has channels cut into it called flutes, this helps remove material as you drill.

There are increasingly more rolling mills that follow their general process with an annealing stage in order to give their produced metal parts a matte finish. This is still a raw and unfinished surface but gives a better visual appeal, and a more uniform finish, which is efficient in manufacturing operations. This process usually takes the form of heating the metal to above its recrystallization temperature and then cooling, either in still air or by quenching in water. Thereby, several physical and chemical properties are altered, making the metal more malleable and workable.

As the mill finish is not a surface finish per se, rather the raw state of the metal’s surface before the finish. Many mills and manufacturers prefer offering anodized metal instead of mill finished bars. This is largely due to the more uniform surface finish of anodized metals and strengthened conditions as they can withstand weather oxidation and UV lights.

As much as a mill finish is a standard, slight differences are present between the different metals. The most common mill finish metal is aluminum. At this state, mill finish aluminum will usually have a slight and thin film of oxide, which is common for both extruded and rolled aluminum. Oxidation is a common trait in most mill-finished metals, which will later be removed through a chemical process. This is the case also for stainless steel, which usually exits the mill with very low luster, sometimes even a dark coloring on the surface. Rolled sheet metal will usually have the thinnest oxidation coating after exiting the mill.

This general process not only does it make the metal more ductile and workable, but it uniforms the surface and removes many of the cracks and cutting spots that may present on the surface, and often produces a matte finish.

Although a mill finish is the texture of metal, or material in general, as it leaves the mill; an unfinished appearance, it is often very sought after by manufacturers and builders. Not only is it the standard form of raw metals in several industries, but it also has a greater degree of customization of the part and the final appearance of the product. In most industrial uses metal parts or bars are processed into a coherent component, or final product comprising different pieces. Likewise, the optimal surface finish is determined by the final usage of the product, among other factors, which significantly guide the sealing and coating of the material. This arrangement method allows for a consistent appearance.

There are two distinct types of milling processes. Face milling consists of making milling cuts using the end corner of the cutters along the flat surface of the workpiece. Whereas peripheral milling differs in making the cuts along the circumference of the cutter. This method is mostly applied to make deep slots and threads, as the blades of the cutter remove bigger chunks of material from the workpiece. This is the cutting process that gives the metal surface its mill finish. The type of rotary cutters and the size of the blades are determining factors of the mill finish’s minute details. As the cutters can often go in different variations of movement, from trochoidal marks to curvilinear movements, this gives the metal surface its distinct grainy and rough surface, marked by cuts and scratches.

Extrusion is another process of producing raw metal parts, often with a rough surface finish that can be described as a mill finish. Extrusion is essentially a process that pushes metal through cross-sectional stamping or casting dies. This technique is mostly applied to aluminum and steel, as well as softer metals, either in cold or hot temperatures, and is applied to obtain complex cross-sectional profiles that are not achievable through regular milling processes.

This rough and unpolished texture is usually referred to as a mill finish. This type of surface texture lacks brightness and has low reflectivity. It can also contain some additional components, like trace amounts of mill oil, or oxidation spots on the outer layer. Pieces with such a surface are usually considered raw or unfinished, requiring a surface processing step to create the final appearance of the component. Essentially, a mill finish is almost a requirement for surface finishing processes, providing the accurate measurements, and precise angles of a component before finishing touches.

Drill bits get very hot after drilling and pose a burn hazard. Always let the drill bit cool before removing the bit from the chuck.
