A little over a month ago we released our 5Axis VERSUS 3Axis video where John compared making a 3+2 part on a VF4SS versus making it on a UMC500SS. We got lots of great comments on that video so we decided to do a "deep dive" and look more indepth at how John set up the UMC for this job and also discuss some of the comments we got from the video.

0:00 Introduction
0:36 Why did we choose this part?
1:20 How did you decide to hold the part?
3:20 Serrated or Dovetail Jaws?
9:02 Tool Planes and 5Axis Programming
11:16 Cost difference between machines
12:13 How about using an HRT or TRT instead?
14:58 Why we counted the cost of 5 vises
15:56 Teardown and setup time
18:08 Doing this job with a smaller VMC
19:28 One piece flow on both machines
22:20 Reducing opportunity for error
23:55 Machining at compound angles
28:02 Speaking to some more comments
