There are several different types of milling machines that can be found and they are small
or large depending on what they do. Here are a few:
1. Vertical CNC mills have a vertical spindle axis. This means that the cutters that do the
milling are held vertically in the spindle and they rotate on the spindle's axis. In this type
you can extend the spindle or the table to make drilling or plunge cuts. Bed mills and
Turret mills fall into this category.
2. Horizontal CNC mills have the same type of table as vertical CNC mills but their cutters
are mounted on an arbor that sits across the table horizontally.
