In 5 axis machining centers, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is used to move tools that are a part of the machine itself in 5 different ways in the course of manufacturing an item.
This means that the tools can move along any axis in the machine to make complicated cuts, for the purposes of grinding, milling, honing, shaping, and for punching holes in the exact center of predetermined diameter on a metal work piece. This is used in conjunction with Computer Aided manufacturing (CAM), which allows for sophisticated programming of commands to be interfaced with the 5 axis machining center.

5 axis machining centers can be quite costly because of the increased complexity they can handle over regular 2 axis machining centers.
* For one thing, they negate the need for a metal work piece to be removed so that more delicate work can be accomplished by hand.
* The work piece will no longer have to be turned manually during the machining process.
* They can provide better finishes because of the flexibility of movement of the tools.
* They can machine much more complicated parts than other machining centers, such as those with curved holes, easily and with automation.
Thus 5 axis machining centers thus represent an investment for a machining or manufacturing plant. They are initially costly, but they reduce the amount of labor required and increase the range of parts that can be machined by the company. In addition, they last decades.
