5-Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machining allows complex parts with multiple side features to be machined on up to five sides in a single setup. This can pay huge dividends, increasing machine utilization, reducing setup and cycle times, and improving quality. 5-axis machining capabilities will make our CNC shop more cost-effective across a wider range of work.
CNC Machining Tolerances
- Maximum Part Size: Milled parts up to 80” x 48” x 24” (2,032 x 1,219 x 610 mm). Lathe parts up to 62” (1,575 mm) length and 32” (813 mm) diameter.
- General Tolerances: Tolerances on metals will be held to +/- 0.005″ (+/- 0.127 mm) in accordance with ISO 2768 unless otherwise specified. Plastics and composites will be +/- 0.010”.
- Precision Tolerances: XTPROTO can manufacture and inspect to tight tolerances, including sub +/- 0.001″ tolerances, per your drawing specifications and GD&T callouts.
- Minimum Feature Size: 0.020” (0.50 mm). This may vary depending on part geometry and chosen material.
- Threads and Tapped Holes: XTPROTO can accommodate any standard thread size. We can also machine custom threads; these will require a manual quote review.
- Surface Finish: The standard finish is as-machined: 125 Ra or better. Additional finishing options can be specified when getting a quote.

What is CNC machining?
CNC, or computer numerical control machining, is a widely used manufacturing process that uses automated high-speed cutting tools to remove material from a metal or plastic workpiece until the desired geometry is achieved. Standard CNC machines include 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling machines, lathes, and routers. Machines may differ in how they cut CNC parts – the workpiece may remain in place while the tool moves, the tool may remain in place while the workpiece rotates and moves, or the cutting tool and workpiece may move together. When a machinist receives a CAD (computer-aided design) model, also known as a 3D file, they begin by programming the tool paths based on the 3D file. Skilled machinists know how to optimize tool paths to reduce CNC machining costs and achieve tight tolerances.
