Get Five-Axis
Machining on a
Three-Axis VMC
Machine shops want and
need to eliminate steps
in the manufacturing
process. Adding four- or
five-axis capability to an
existing three-axis VMC is
a practical way to achieve
five-sided machining using
a single setup.

:: Adding the capabilities of five-
axis machining can help shops
expand the kinds of work they can
do for their customers.
