Combined with rapid advancements in machine tool technology and cutting tool software, five axis machining results in potential savings for tool and die manufacturers in areas such as cost per part, cutting tool life, and overall machining productivity.

Even with a common ballnose end mill, machine users can get much better utilization of the cutting edges and higher material removal by tilting the tool and cutting with the outer radius of the ball. Five-axis machining makes that possible.

Two developments in cutting tool technology can deliver even greater gains in productivity; multi-flute end mills and barrel-shaped tools…READ MORE.
