You will get the special benefits from five axis CNC machining. With the development of CNC technology, STYLECNC 5 axis CNC router opens you up to a wide range of possibilities you never thought possible on the ordinary CNC router. Compared with the standard 3 axis CNC routers (X, Y, Z), STYLECNC 5 axis CNC router has added A and C axis. These additional two axis allow for a larger range of motion that creates many new applications. This enables the 5 axis CNC router to now rotate in 90% increments, meaning that the 5 axis CNC router can work on all four sides of a piece of material as well as vertical machining from the top. ![5 axis CNC router]() **Let's Learn The Advantages and Benefits of 5 Axis CNC Machining:** **1\. Ability to work on a piece of material in one single run.** This reduces the set up time that is needed when a job takes several runs to complete. Having to only set up the job once saves you time and in turn saves your company money. **2\. Provides a high level of flexibility and versatility.** Having the ability to machine on more axes can help improve production of current jobs as well as create opportunities to diversify products and offerings. **3\. Shorter cutting tool size.** Due to the fact that the cutting head on the 5 axis CNC router can be lowered towards the material being cut. **4\. Increased accuracy and quality of cuts.** Having 5 axis increases the tool's range of movement, and as a result it is able to more accurately cut a design or job. **5\. Competitive advantage.** The 5 axis CNC router provides a competitive advantage for your company. Investing in the latest technology allows your company to stay ahead of the game in the ever changing and dynamic market. ![5 axis CNC router]() ![5 axis CNC router]() ### Share This Article With Others ### Further Reading #### Four Elements Influencing Speed of Laser Marking Machine 2017-12-13[Prev Post](https://www.stylecnc.com/user-manual/4-factors-affecting-the-speed-of-laser-marking-machine.html "Four Elements Influencing Speed of Laser Marking Machine") ### What Are 5 Axis CNC Routers Used For? 2017-12-19[Next Post](https://www.stylecnc.com/user-manual/what-is-5-axis-cnc-router-used-for.html "What Are 5 Axis CNC Routers Used For?") ### Related Guidance [](https://www.stylecnc.com/user-manual/how-to-maintain-cnc-router-longer-service-time.html "How To Maintain CNC Router for Longer Service Time?") 2021-08-312 Min Read #### [How To Maintain CNC Router for Longer Service Time?](https://www.stylecnc.com/user-manual/how-to-maintain-cnc-router-longer-service-time.html "How To Maintain CNC Router for Longer Service Time?")
