NEW 5-Axis Book Release

The Power of FIVE | The Definitive Guide to 5- Axis Machining by Michael Cope

If you’ve spent any amount of time in manufacturing, you know that efficiency matters. While saving a couple of seconds in cycle time can significantly increase efficiency in a high production manufacturing environment where thousands of parts are produced for one job, minimizing setup time is the key to increasing efficiency in job shops that manufacture small numbers of parts for multiple jobs each day. Mike Cope, the author of this book, was co-owner of a job shop before he joined Hurco. As a machinist and applications engineer, he always evaluates the most efficient way to approach a part to minimize setup time and reduce cycle time. It’s just part of his DNA. That’s precisely why he is such a proponent of 5-axis. It is the most efficient way to instantly increase your profit margin on existing jobs that you manufacture on a conventional 3-axis machine.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at the Reynolds Open House. This book is a great way to understand the basics of 5 axis machining, including how it can help for "non" 5-axis work by simplifying setups. Mike discusses machines, setup, fixture examples and even CAM! Well done.” – John Saunders Oct 5, 2017
