DEMONSTRATION: 5-Axis Roughing Steel

Length: 14 sec

DESCRIPTION

Simultaneous 5-axis roughing and contouring offers several advantages over conventional 3-axis machining techniques, such as faster processing, reduction of uneven cutting forces and improved tool life. Shown here in steel, for demonstration purposes only, without the visual interference of the high pressure, high flow coolant system normally operating during titanium milling. By creating a near net shape during the roughing process, this permits manufacturers to eliminate semi-finishing processes all together.
