4 Axis and 5 Axis Fixturing Techniques: Tabs, Adding Datums & Fixtures Mid Program, and More!

In 4 and 5 axis machining, workholding size matters. Choosing workholding that is too large for the machine or the part can prevent the spindle, tool, or toolholder from reaching the part or worse--the spindle may come into contact with the workholding device or machine table. Let's cover using collets, chucks, combining workholding devices, tabbing, window machining, and how to hold complex parts without datums!
