    Up milling involves cutting a workpiece with the rotation of the cutter moving against the direction of feed, carrying chips upward. Down milling conversely involves cutting with the rotation moving in the direction of feed, carrying chips downward. The main difference between the two is that up milling rotates against the feed direction while down milling rotates with the feed direction.

    Difference Between Up Milling and Down

    Milling
    Today we will discuss about difference between up milling and down milling. The milling is a
    machining process in which, a rotary cutter is used to remove the material from work piece in the
    direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The milling process is done by the machine, which
    hold both the tool and work piece in jig and fixture, known as milling machine. There are two
    ways to cut the material from the work piece through milling machine. First one is named as
    conventional milling or Up milling and the other one known as climb milling or down milling.
    The main and basic difference between up milling and down milling is the direction of rotation
    of cutter to the feed.

    The milling operation is used to facing of those work piece, which are not symmetrical from its
    axis. It is also used to cut pockets, drill, slot and shape the work piece according to the
    requirement.

    There are two ways to cut the material from the work piece through milling machine. First one is
    named as conventional milling or Up milling and the other one known as climb milling or down
    milling. The main and basic difference between up milling and down milling is the direction of
    rotation of cutter to the feed.

    In up milling the cutter is rotate clockwise when cutting the work piece from right to left. In this
    type of milling the tool spins against the direction of feed. In this milling process, the cutting
    chips are carried upward by the tool.

    In down milling, the cutter rotates clockwise while cutting the work piece
    from left to right. In this milling operation, the tool spins with the direction
    of feed. The cutting chips are carried downward by the tool.

    Difference between Up milling and Down


    milling:

    Up Milling Down Milling


    1. In up milling the cutter rotates In Down milling, the cutter

    2. It is also known as conventional It is also known as climb
    milling. milling.

    3. In this, chip width size is zero at In this cutting process, chip size
    initial cut and increase with feed. It is maximum at start of cut and
    is maximum at the end of feed. decrease with the feed. It is
    zero at the end of feed.

    4. In this process, heat is diffuse to the In down milling most of heat

    5. In up milling, tool wear is more In this, tool wear is less

    6. Tool life is low. Tool life is high.

    7. The cutting chips are carried upward The chips are carried downward
    by the tool so known as up milling. by the tool so known as down
    milling.

    8. The cutting chips fall down in front The cutting chips fall down
    of the cutting tool which again cut behind the tool. This gives
    the chips cause less surface finish. better surface finish.

    9. Due to upward force by tool, high In down milling, downward
