face milling
An operation in which a face mill machines a flat surface of the workpiece in order to provide a smooth finish. The depth of the face, typically very small, may be machined in a single pass or may be reached by machining at a smaller axial depth of cut and making multiple passes. For a rough operation, the recommended cutting speed and feed for face milling are used. A finish operation will lower the cutting feed according to the finish requirements.
