Keller, verb, to keller; used in Manufacturing to describe the back and forth motion of cutting a lofted surface with a ball end mill. This is a work taken from a Keller Machine that used a stylus to monitor a shape while cutting using hydraulics, now it is a term used in NC Programming and NC Machining to describe the process. "We will have to keller that airfoil shape"
