How does 5-axis machining differ from 3-axis and 4-axis machining? 5-axis CNC machining incorporates two rotary axes, allowing the cutting tool or the part to tilt and rotate; this enables the machining of multiple sides in a single setup without the need to stop and re-clamp the workpiece. Compared to 3-axis machines—which move linearly along…
