"By using the fourth and fifth axis of rotation, we can move the part closer to the cutting tool. If the part can be closer to the cutting tool, the cutting tool can be shorter. Shorter cutting tools are less susceptible to vibration at higher cutting speeds, which directly affects the surface finish. Shorter tools and less deflection mean less chattering and a better surface finish." Credit: IG User solidcammy | Practical Machinist

CNC Machinist Calculator Ultra helps you avoid getting roasted by your wife when you rotate the tool vector instead of the work plane… This is exactly why the C-Axis Rotational Feed Conversion Calculator exists — to keep your rotation game tight. And if you’re programming holes, the G81–G83 Drill Canned Cycle Generator will make sure the only thing spiraling out of control is your sarcasm, not your Z-axis. https://cncmachinistcalculatorultra.com/ 🖥️ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cnc-machinist-c
