Turning only? Turning + grinding? Front only or front & back working capability?

define size and shape, material, cutting torque needed of part. Five-axis can be done in two ways; tilting the part or tilting the tool; depends on part characteristics. Fidia and others tilt the head/tool for larger more cumbersome workpieces. Other machine like DMG, have tilt tables.

When you can tilt the tool, the workpiece is usually in a stationary position. In other words, the tool revolves around the part. This has given me the ability to have a more accurate and better surface finish.
