Abstract
A milling method for machining a metallic member to provide a finished appearance is provided. A metallic member is positioned on a worktable. The metallic member includes a top portion and a peripheral sidewall. The peripheral sidewall includes an end edge. After rotation, the milling cutter is rotated and resists the peripheral sidewall of the metallic member. The milling cutter is moved along a predetermined path, and the milling cutter machines the metallic member to achieve a required shape and finish. The worktable rotates the metallic member to enable the end edge of the peripheral sidewall to face the milling cutter, and the milling cutter chamfers the end edge along a predetermined path, while simultaneously controlling a feed of the milling cutter relative to the metallic member.
