In this GibbsCAM Tech Tip, we do a deep dive on programming a tangent barrel mill to improve surface finish and reduce cycle time on many 5-axis finishing operations.
By utilizing the larger contact radius of this type of tool, a tangent barrel mill greatly reduces the number of passes required to achieve superior surface finishes. Plus, the ball end allows finishing into much smaller inside corners with excellent rigidity.
