Workholding Techniques: Window Machining & Tabs for 3,4, and 5-Axis Applications!

Window machining and using tabs gets me excited! In this workholding technique, the raw material becomes the fixture, which means flipping for Op 2 is a breeze. This strategy can works great for 3-Axis, 4-Axis, and 5-Axis machines. Let's cover what window machining is, why it's a great strategy, and how we've used it. Hopefully this inspires or helps you create even better ways to hold your parts!
