What factor has the biggest impact on tool life during 5-axis machining?
A
Constant Tool Engagement has the biggest impact on tool life during 5-axis machining.
WHY
Maintaining consistent engagement in 5-axis paths reduces tool stress and heat, extending life significantly. Modern CAM strategies like Adaptive clearing (trochoidal milling) make this easier, helping shops save on tooling costs.
