For a 2-dimensional(2D) vibration milling, an excitation work-table was developed using two piezoelectric materials orthogonally arranged, where the trochoidal trajectory of a milling tool is combined with 2 dimensional elliptical vibration of a work-table. Applying 3kHz excitation frequency and 7~8mm amplitude of vibration to micro milling process with brass and nickel materials, the roughness in both bottom and side surface is much more improved compared to the surface by conventional milling process, which is attributed to decreased frictional force, increased cutting speed, and rubbing effect of a 2 dimensional vibration.
