Abstract: Using conceptual design, a milling attachment was designed and placed in an existing Computer Numerical Control (CNC) turning centre. The CNC machine is controlled by mechatronics and has a computer interface. With the newly developed milling attachment, the CNC machine becomes multipurpose and can be used for both milling and drilling operations. It's a small, portable machine that can do a variety of milling operations that would ordinarily necessitate pricey single-purpose machines. This self-powered, vertical-feed, variable-speed precision tool can be mounted anywhere on other machine tools' carriages, tables, rams, turrets, or tool arms. The vibration analysis and surface roughness testing were completed, with satisfactory findings.
