What is milling in the context of machining processes?

• A process where the machine tool is rotated and the workpiece moves to shape the material.

• A process carried out on a machine called a Mill or Machining Centre where the workpiece is held stationary and the tool rotates.

• A process exclusively for creating cylindrical shapes in materials.

• A process where the workpiece is rotated at high speeds while the tool is held stationary.
