These are also called continuous milling machines, as the WPs are set up without stopping the operation. Rotary-table machines are highly productive; consequently, they are frequently used for both batch and mass production. The WPs being machined are clamped in fixtures installed on the rotating table (2) (Figure 3.47). The machines may be equipped with one or two spindle heads (1).

Calculating the cutting forces in five-axis milling was a more challenging task owing to the varying orientation of the tool axis with respect to the workpiece. In five-axis milling, the cutting forces can be measured in two ways: using a table-type dynamometer attached to the rotary table of the machine tool, or using a rotary dynamometer directly attached to the spindle of the machine tool, with the cutting tool attached to the dynamometer (Boz et al., 2012).
