Abstract

An improved multi-purpose milling machine for milling a work piece along a desired line of action. The machine includes an electronic control network for controlling the position of the cutting tool relative to the work piece along a plurality of axes responsive to commands of the operator. The electronic control network is adapted for controlling the rate and direction of rotational motion of the cutting tool relative to the work piece and the linear motion and direction of the work piece relative to the cutting tool.
