The routers according to tool orientation can be horizontal, vertical or universal. The special milling can be circular, copiers, gantry or mobile bridge. The routers according to the number of axes can be three, four and five axis. Operations during the milling process cycle are as follows: End milling: Tool mill makes peripheral and slot cuts across the work-piece. Chamfer milling: Tool mill makes a cut along of the work-piece to create a 45 degree angled. Face milling: Machine works in a flat surface of the work-piece to create a smooth finish. Other operations are drilling, boring, counter boring, countersinking, tapping and reaming. This process is characterized by the following advantages and disadvantages
