For example, in the case of tall standing walls, it takes a very long overhang length to process.
The long overhang makes it easier for the tool to deflect during machining. Therefore, it is difficult to improve accuracy and efficiency.
At that time, it is effective to divide the processing into multiple times in the axial direction. This is called step cutting.
In addition, by using an end mill with a short flute length and high rigidity, it is possible to perform high-efficiency and high-precision machining even with long protrusions.
