<strong>Machining</strong> titanium parts efficiently requires a delicate balance between productivity and<br />
profitability. The cutting process poses a big challenge to the machine and tool system.<br />
In the past experiments to use standard machines failured. In <strong>Titanium</strong> machining solid and<br />
accurate machine tools with high performance in drives and spindle become accepted in the<br />
market.<br />
