NATO Supply Class 3417 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 34, which is dedicated to Metalworking Machinery. Specifically, Class 3417 focuses on Milling Machines.

Milling machines are versatile tools used in metalworking processes to remove material from a workpiece using rotary cutters. They are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and engineering.

NATO Supply Class 3417 includes different types of milling machines, such as horizontal milling machines, vertical milling machines, universal milling machines, and specialized milling machines for specific applications.

Horizontal milling machines have a horizontal spindle orientation, allowing the cutting tool to move along the horizontal axis. Vertical milling machines, on the other hand, have a vertical spindle orientation, enabling the cutting tool to move along the vertical axis. Universal milling machines have the capability to perform both horizontal and vertical milling operations.

These milling machines are essential for tasks such as cutting, drilling, and shaping metal workpieces with precision and accuracy. They can be used to create various shapes, slots, holes, and contours on metal surfaces.

NATO Supply Class 3417 ensures that milling machines used by NATO member countries meet specific standards and requirements. This classification helps in the procurement, maintenance, and standardization of milling machines within NATO forces.
