Both models of LICO have live tooling for machining in either axial or radial directions. Special, adjustable angle live tools are available, but they are time consuming to set, so a good choice for long running work, but not for angled holes that might take a lot of changing. The LNDD model has Y-axis milling. The LNTS uses polar milling or polygon turning to generate hexes or other shapes. Live tool drives are available in any position. The live tools are driven by a 5-horsepower servomotor. The top rpm is 3,000, but that can be doubled with the use of specially-geared tools to 6,000 rpm. All live tools are driven by a helical bevel gear ring in the turret. Each live tool has a helical bevel gear on the end of the tool, which mates with the ring gear for providing power. When one tool is activated, they are all activated.
