Tooling & Technology Showcase: High-Efficiency Milling Techniques: Traditional vs. Dynamic
Join us for a focused technical seminar exploring two distinct CNC milling approaches—heavy engagement with large stepovers and dynamic milling strategies. This session will break down the key differences in methodology, toolpaths, tooling requirements, and machine demands between these techniques, helping you understand when and where each excels.

Gorilla Mill will be on-site to co-present the seminar, offering insight into tool design considerations and best practices for both styles of milling.

Following the presentation, we’ll move to the shop floor for live machine demonstrations using our Haas VF-3SSYT and VF-2SS vertical machining centers. See firsthand how each technique performs under real-world conditions—material removal rates, tool engagement, heat generation, and surface finish will all be on display.

Topics Covered:
- Traditional heavy milling vs. dynamic milling: principles and toolpaths
- Machine requirements and setup considerations
- Tooling differences and selection tips
- Productivity tradeoffs and cost implications
- Real-world applications for each method

Who Should Attend:
- CNC Machinists and Operators
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Production Managers
- Anyone interested in enhancing their CNC machining skills and knowledge
