Milling is a machining process that uses a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece to shape precise features and surfaces. Welding is a joining process that applies heat, pressure, or both to fuse two or more pieces of metal (or thermoplastics) together into a single assembly. The key difference is that milling is subtractive and focused on shaping parts, while welding is additive/assembly-focused and creates permanent joints. Milling is typically done on mills or CNC machines for precision components, whereas welding is performed with torches or arc equipment to build or repair structures.
