In the rapidly evolving world of manufacturing, CNC automation is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity. Across the United States, machine shops of all sizes are facing increasing pressure to boost productivity, maintain quality, and stay competitive in a global market. As a result, automated manufacturing processes are gaining traction, especially in the realm of machine tool automation for CNC milling.

5-axis machining centers have become the gold standard for complex part production. They offer unmatched flexibility, reduce setups, and enable highly efficient and accurate machining. However, one key factor often underestimated in unleashing the full potential of 5-axis technology is the workholding system. The right 5-axis workholding solution is not just a support element - it’s a performance driver. Let’s take a closer look at why the choice of 5 axis vise is critical, especially during roughing (also known as raw part or blank machining), and what to consider when choosing the best vise for your 5-axis setup.
