Horizontal Machining Centers (or Horizontal Mills or HMC's) perform horizontal machining by employing a spindle that is parallel to the ground floor and table. With a horizontally oriented spindle, cutting tools cut across the side of a workpiece, encouraging chips to fall away from the the workpiece. If equipped with an indexer or rotary table, an HMC is able to machine 360 degrees around the sides of the workpiece. The HMC advantage: horizontal machining remove chips from the workpiece quicker allowing it to machine faster and they are more advantageous for complex pocketing and mold cavity machining. Due to the structural advantages of horizontal machining centers, horizontal Machining centers can process large workpieces. Simply put, workpieces that are difficult or impossible to machine in vertical machining centers can be machined in horizontal machining centers.
