Re: inside milling attachment

I think that the inside ring thing is just a carbide or diamond point
and gets used as a drag engraver, the 15,000 rpm figure I'd imagine
refers to the main spindle used for doing the outside milling,
although I thought that even the new Taig spindles have a max of
10,000rpm.
Can anyone work out where they get the 5-axis part from their
name "Five Axis Jewelry" as it seems to be all 4-axis at most ?
