When to Choose 4-Axis?
Choosing a 4-axis CNC machine depends on the complexity, precision, and efficiency required for your manufacturing process. It offers a middle ground between 3-axis and 5-axis machining, suitable for parts that require some rotational movement but not full multi-axis flexibility.
Complexity Beyond 3-Axis, But Not 5-Axis
- Ideal for: Parts that need angled features, slots, or holes on multiple faces.
- Why: 4-axis machines handle angled cuts and drilling on multiple faces with fewer setups, improving efficiency and precision.
- Example: Creating turbine blades, automotive parts, or certain medical devices.
When Cost Efficiency is a Priority things
- Ideal for: Medium-complexity parts that don’t justify the expense of a 5-axis machine.
- Why: 4-axis CNC machines are significantly cheaper than 5-axis machines, both in upfront investment and maintenance costs.
- Example: Low-volume production or prototyping where full 5-axis flexibility isn’t needed.
Reducing Setup Time for Multi-Faceted Parts
- Ideal for: Complex parts with multiple faces that would require multiple setups on a 3-axis machine.
- Why: A 4-axis machine can rotate the workpiece, machining several sides in a single operation.
- Example: Mold bases or fixtures with features on different planes.

Advantages
Enables machining of more complex geometries compared to 3-axis machines.
Suitable for cylindrical, spiral, or angled cuts, ideal for parts like camshafts, turbines, and molds.
Can perform continuous cutting on multiple faces without manual repositioning, improving precision and efficiency.
Great for machining slots, holes, and other features on cylindrical or curved surfaces.
Cheaper and simpler to program than 5-axis machines.
Lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts.
Minimizes the need for manual repositioning, reducing operator error and improving consistency.
Disadvantages
Our CNC machines deliver precision tolerances that meet industry standards, ensuring consistent accuracy and seamless component fit.
Cannot handle undercuts or complex geometries that require simultaneous rotation on two axes (like in 5-axis).
Some features still require manual repositioning or multiple setups.
Requires more advanced CAM software and programming skills.
Higher learning curve than 3-axis machining.
While cheaper than 5-axis, 4-axis machines are still more expensive than 3-axis machines.
May not justify the cost for simple parts with low complexity.
Less precise for highly intricate parts that require continuous movement in multiple directions.
Vibration or backlash can be more pronounced in rotational movement.
FAQ
To provide clarity on our services, here are answers to frequently asked questions about prototyping and manufacturing.
4-axis machining involves the same three axes as 3-axis machining (X, Y, and Z) with the addition of a rotary axis (A-axis). This allows the workpiece to rotate during machining, enabling the creation of complex geometries with greater precision.
At TONZA, we can work with a wide range of materials, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, and various plastics. Our capabilities cover both metal and non-metal components.
4-axis machining is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, robotics, and industrial equipment due to its ability to produce complex and precise parts.
Our 4-axis machining processes achieve high precision with tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, depending on the complexity and material of the part.
