5-axis machining of 304 stainless enables complex medical, food processing, and architectural components in a single setup. Maintaining constant chip engagement is critical on all tool vectors.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Achievable Tolerances | ±0.01 mm |
| Surface Finish | Ra 0.8-3.2 μm |
| Cutting Speed | 50-100 m/min |
| Feed Rate | 0.05-0.10 mm/tooth |
| Tooling Recommendations | Premium carbide with AlTiN coating. Ball nose tools for contours. High-feed face mills for roughing. |
