What are the main advantages of five-axis machining?

The primary advantages include higher precision and surface finish quality due to the ability to approach the workpiece from multiple angles. It also enables the production of complex parts that are difficult or impossible to manufacture with three-axis machines, such as turbine blades, aerospace components, and intricate molds. Additionally, five-axis machining often reduces production time by minimizing the number of setups required, and it can increase tool life as the cutting forces are more evenly distributed.
