5-Axis vs 3-Axis - Viewer Comments & Deep Dive on the UMC Setup - Haas Automation, Inc.

A little over a month ago we released our 5-Axis VERSUS 3-Axis video where John compared making a 3+2 part on a VF-4SS versus making it on a UMC-500SS. We got lots of great comments on that video so we decided to do a "deep dive" and look more in-depth at how John set up the UMC for this job and also discuss some of the comments we got from the video.
