Edit

: I am seeking a good understanding of 5 axis machining on a vertical mill. X, Y I believe are the table, Z is the spindle travel thats three. What would be 4 and 5?: a rotary table? Please Help me to understand this.: Thank You,: RobertX,Y,Z give you 3 cartesian axes. The other two are (usually?) are rotaries. Either the cutting head can have the rotary motion, or the rotry stages can be mounted on the X-Y platform. Anyway, the two rotaries are at right angles, and the result is that the cutter angle w/r the blank is programmable.hthJay
