5 Axis CNC Machining

What is 5 Axis CNC Machining?

5 Axis CNC Machining is a subtractive process that cuts away at a block of material using a high-speed cutting tool that resembles a drill. Typical 3 Axis CNC Machines are constrained to linear X, Y and Z axes. However, 5 Axis CNC Machining introduces two additional axes; rotation on the X and Y axes (known as A & B axes). The new axes allow the cutting tool to access more areas of the workpieces at a variety of angles.

5 Axis CNC Machining has opened the possibility for parts to be ‘Done in One’, reducing setup and reorientation costs. With intelligent programming, data paths are trialled and tool paths are perfected in advance of production, achieving efficiency and accuracy.

From simple components to highly complex specifications, Get It Made select the best partner factory to produce your 5 Axis machined parts based on suitability and price, never compromising on quality.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a quote?

The quickest way is to fill out our online quote form. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss your project before submitting a quote, feel free to email our engineers at team@get-it-made.co.uk.

How long does it take to get a quote?

For most projects we aim to get a quote back to you within 24h. However, if you submit a quote in the morning we can sometimes provide a quote the same day. Injection moulding is the exemption to this as and will take more than 24h to quote.

Is Get It Made an ISO 9001 Accredited?

Yes, Get It Made is proud to be ISO 9001 accredited. Not too sure what ISO 9001 is? Have a read of our ISO 9001 in manufacturing article.

What is the quickest lead time you can offer for CNC machining?

For small scale CNC projects in Al6061 we can manufacture in as little as 2 days as we have the material readily available in-house.

How much thickness does anodising add?

Type II is the standard variation of anodising and clear coatings typically have a thickness of 5-15 μm and coloured/dyed coatings 10-25 μm.

Type III anodising also known as 'hard anodising’ can have a thickness of 20-80 μm.

A good design guideline to follow is that 50% of the anodic coating is below the original surface and 50% is above. Therefore, a 12 μm coating would increase the part thickness by 6 μm.

What thread specification can you work with?

ISO metric threads (M3, M6, etc), BSPT, BSP, UNF
