Milling is the process of taking away material from or shaping a block in the creation of a desired end product. This is accomplished by either rotating the material against a bit or rotating a bit against the material.

Physics is present throughout the entire milling process. From the operator pulling levers and cranking wheels to move the machine to the thermal conductivity of the drill bit and material being milled.
