| Boring Bar Milling Fixture |
 |
Below is illustrated the boring head for fixturing a boring bar tool on a mill. Boring a hole using a mill is usually not as accurate as it is on a lathe, which is dedicated to machining solids of revolution. |
| Fly Cutter Fixture |
|
Below is illustrated the fixturing for a fly cutter. Fly cutters are used to rapidly mill a surface flat. Metal stock often has fly cut marks after being milled to shape. |
| Slitting Saw Fixture |
|
For milling deep, narrow grooves, a slitting saw is better than an endmill. A slitting saw with an angle head is illustrated below. An endmill would be dangerously long and thin for this application. |
