Milling
With cnc milling the product is fixed as well, but this time in a static clamp. The product itself will not move during milling. With a milling machine, the cutting tools will turn around to machine the product in the right shape. The number of axles of the milling machine represent the number of sides the product can be adjusted by means of one fixture. The milling bed, on which the clamp is mounted, can move with a 4 or 5 axle machine so the product is tilt to multiple sides. Complex products are therefore often made on a 5-axle machine.
