The milling M/C comprises a guide for an elongate metal workpiece (34) in the direction of its length along a path. A cutter (2) is positioned on one side of the path and a cooperating support member (14) is positioned on the other side. The cutter is arranged to act on a face of an elongate workpiece guided along the path and the cutter and the support together define an adjustable cutter gap. An electrical signal representative of the thickness of the workpiece upstream of the cutter gap is produced and controlled to bring about adjustment of the cutter gap to produce a required depth of cut irrespective of variations in the thickness of the workpiece upstream of the cutter gap.
