From Complex Cuts to Seamless Indexing: The 
Power of a CNC Rotary Table [News]
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 30.12.2025 - In today’s competitive manufacturing 
climate, where micron-level precision and production speed are essential, 
machine shops and OEMs alike are demanding smarter, more flexible, and more 
capable equipment. One such transformative technology is the CNC Rotary Table, 
an indispensable component that’s helping businesses move beyond conventional 
three-axis limits into enhanced four- and five- axis machining.
SilverCNC, an industry-leading CNC accessory manufacturer based in Suzhou, China, 
is at the forefront of this shift. With rising global demand for multi-sided part 
access, angular machining, gear cutting, and contour milling, SilverCNC’s 
advanced line of CNC Rotary Table systems is providing a scalable, cost-effective 
solution.
According to Mr. Liu, Sales Head of SilverCNC, “The CNC Rotary Table 
is more than a fixture—it's an enabler. From precisely cutting turbine 
blades to creating complex mold cavities, our customers are using 
rotary tables to expand their machine capabilities without needing to 
invest in full 5-axis machining centers.
That’s the true power of rotational positioning—it bridges the 
gap between complexity and efficiency.”
What is a CNC Rotary Table?
A CNC Rotary Table is a device that adds an additional (typically A- or B-axis) 
rotational degree of freedom to a three-axis CNC milling machine or machining 
center. Mounted either vertically or horizontally on the machine’s worktable, this 
rotating platform allows workpieces to be indexed or continuously rotated during 
cutting.
Depending on the configuration, a rotary 
table can:
Rotate a part for multi-sided cutting without re-clamping
Perform angular index drilling, contour milling, or gear tooth 
generation Enable 4-axis or 5-axis interpolative machining
Allow complex part geometries in fewer setups
SilverCNC offers manual, servo-driven, and direct drive CNC rotary tables—each 
optimized for speed, torque, backlash elimination, and accuracy.
Why CNC Rotary Tables Matter in 2026 and Beyond
As manufacturers seek to adapt to diverse and complex product 
requirements, a
CNC Rotary Table offers tangible benefits, such as:
✅ Greater Efficiency
By adding fourth or fifth axis motion, rotary tables eliminate the need to re-
fixture a part multiple times—slashing setup and handling time.
✅ Enhanced Accuracy
Each time a part is removed and re-positioned manually, cumulative errors are 
introduced. A
rotary table maintains positional integrity throughout multi-face operations.
✅ Expanded Machining Capabilities
Tasks like helical interpolation, multi-face drilling, angular contouring, and 
creating cylindrical features become possible on a single setup, significantly 
reducing cycle times.
✅ More Flexible Programming
Modern rotary tables, such as those offered by SilverCNC, seamlessly integrate 
with FANUC, Siemens, Haas, and Mitsubishi CNC systems, allowing programmers to 
create powerful four- and five-axis toolpaths using standard CAM software.
✅ Cost-Effective Upgrade
A robust rotary table turns a standard 3-axis VMC into a versatile 4-axis 
powerhouse—at a fraction of the investment required for dedicated 5-axis 
machines.
