What Makes a “True” 5 Axis CNC Router?
The term “5 axis CNC router” is widely used, but not always accurately. In many cases, machines marketed as 5 axis systems are actually 3+2 axis configurations, which behave very differently in real production.

When manufacturers begin comparing 3 axis, 4 axis, and 5 axis CNC routers, the discussion often becomes simplified into a question of “how many axes are better.” In reality, axis count alone does not determine productivity, accuracy, or suitability.
A 5 axis CNC router is often described as a “more advanced” CNC machine, but this description is vague and frequently misleading.
