727-387-2828 sales@rjmanufacturing.com 0 Menu CNC 3-AXIS Machining Overview Digital Controls CNC 3-axis machining is one of the most widely used techniques to make mechanical parts. “3-axis” refers to the ability of a CNC machine to perform movement about three different axes simultaneously. In 3-axis machining, the workpiece remains still while the cutting tool moves along the 3 axes to mill the part. This technique is computer controlled and used for milling slots, drilling holes, and cutting sharp edges. 3-axis machining allows material to be removed in 3 axes represented by back to front, side to side and up and down. It is suitable for parts that are not too deep, but this technique is limited when trying to handle a deeper part with narrow cavities. Those projects would require a 4-axis or 5-axis CNC process.

727-387-2828 sales@rjmanufacturing.com 0 Menu CNC 5-AXIS Machining Overview Digital Controls CNC 5-axis machining uses a tool which moves in five different directions corresponding to the 3 linear X, Y and Z axes, plus two additional axes (A and B) around which the milling tool rotates. This allows a part to be milled all directions and can be worked from five sides in a single operation. This technique is extremely suitable for deeper parts made from harder materials, and it offers a higher degree of precision due to using shorter machining tools. The 4th axis is around the A-axis, which rotates around the Z-axis (also used in 4-axis machining). The 5th axis is around the B-axis, which rotates around the Y-axis. This allows for higher precision and speed in production. The CNC 5-axis process creates very complex parts, such as those used in aerospace applications.
