- In today's Machinist's Blog, Mike Cope goes over the basics of what tool vectors are and how they are used in 5-axis machining. So what are tool vectors? Tool vectors are simply IJK values in a program, added to the end of an XYZ position, that determine what angle and direction the tool should tilt away from the commanded XYZ position. For example: a tool vector command of G01 X10. Y10. Z10. I0.5 J0.5 K0.707106 would be the same tool and axis position as calling G01 X10. Y10. Z10. B45. C45…without having to call out specific axis commands. The second command could ONLY be utilized on a machine with a BC machine configuration.
