Structure of A 5-axis CNC Machine
Rotary Spindle Head
Variable speed spindle holds rotating cutting tool which travels on the Y-axis (front to back) and spins on the B-axis.
Cutting Tool
Machine tools cut material from the workpiece to form a part - subtractive manufacturing.
Traveling Columns
The Z-axis (left to right) and X-axis (top to bottom) columns the rotary spindle head and tooling travel upon.
Main Spindle
Main chuck holding workpiece which rotates on the C-axis up to 2,500 RPMs and is able to travel on Z-axis.
Sub-Spindle
Secondary chuck holding workpiece which revolves on the C-axis up to 2,500 RPMs and is able to move on Z-axis.

5 Axis CNC Machining FAQs
- Q
What is the difference between 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining?
AThe main difference is the fixturing and setup time. 3-axis machines work on 3 axes and 5-axis machines work on 5 axes. By using a 5-axis machine over a 3-axis machine, cycle time is remarkably reduced, decreasing it by more than 1/3rd.
To know more details about 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling, you can read our guide on Differences between 3-, 4-, and 5-Axis CNC Machining to help you choose the best suitable one for your CNC machining project.
- Q
What are the advantages of 5-axis CNC machining?
AFewer machines involved and reduced part handling, and setups;
Highly engineered and complex part machining;
Create complex part geometry in one setup;
Increased part precision;
Custom design for manufacture;
Producing overall parts on demand;
Reduction of costly workpiece fixtures and tooling redundancy;
Conducive to unattended operations – single point load / unload;
Go all the way – Gear cutting, hobbing, and skiving;
Less ancillary equipment needed – gages and tools;
Improved documentation and traceability – done-in-one.
- Q
When should I choose 5-axis CNC machining?
AThe flexibility of 5-axis CNC machining allows the creation of complex components with complex shapes and geometrical details. The stability of the machining tool also gives more consistent and smoother surface finishes. Therefore, you should choose 5-axis machining whenever you need to produce complex parts with tight tolerances.
- Q
What’s the maximum part size for 5-axis CNC machining?
AOur 5-axis milling machines can accommodate a length of 42 inches bar stock. This allows us to work on a wide range of projects for various applications.
- Q
How much does your CNC machining service cost?
AThe cost of your CNC machining projects is not fixed as it depends on the characteristics of your project, such as the design, and tolerances. Machining times of the material to be used in the project also contribute to this pricing.
