The workpiece is indexed to the optimal angle to avoid cutting with
the tool tip.
This produces superb machined surface quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This feature enables the operator to specify the machine’s indexing angle as desired,making it easier to check the machining area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Function for changing the machine orientation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are times when two indexing angle patterns are possible, depending on the machine structure.
The operator can select the machine orientation that allows easy checking of the machining area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
