Angle heads are attachments used on milling or CNC machines to enable cutting at various angles, expanding the range of operations without repositioning the workpiece.
They feature gears or drives that tilt the spindle, allowing the tool to approach the workpiece at specific angles, like 90° or 45°.
Angle heads are used for operations such as drilling, tapping, milling, and boring at non-perpendicular angles, improving efficiency and part accuracy.
Typically made from high-strength materials like steel or aluminum alloys, angle heads are built to withstand heavy cutting forces and ensure durability.
Using angle heads reduces setup time, improves machine utilization, and allows complex features to be machined in a single setup.
