Accessible Features & Stable Setup

Suitable for plates, blocks, pockets, slots and drilled features that can be reached from a limited number of orientations.

Best considered when: geometry is relatively open and cost-effective setup is a priority.

Indexed Multi-Face Machining

The part is positioned at a selected angle and machined with the rotary axes locked, helping reach several faces with controlled datums.

Best considered when: angled or multi-side features do not require continuous simultaneous motion.

Complex Surfaces & Tool Access

Simultaneous axis movement can support complex contours, angled features and difficult access while reducing separate repositioning.

Best considered when: geometry, feature relationships or surface continuity justify the route.

Deep Pockets & Thin Walls

Tool reach, chip removal, rigidity, clamping force and material stress can influence the machining plan.

Related Bores & Datums

Bore position, perpendicularity and face relationships may require a controlled setup and suitable inspection method.

Small Internal Radii

Corner radius affects cutter selection, tool stiffness, cycle time and achievable surface condition.
