The whole industry seems to be discussing this topic. Here’s what Modern Machine Shop has to say about "Tool System Considerations For High Speed Machining".

Makino is introducing the A66E-5XD, a 5-axis version of the popular A66E machine which is ideal for the fast production of critical aircraft engine components.

Faster. More productive. More accurate. Makino has raised the bar once again for high-speed horizontal machining centers with the new A55E, the latest addition to its A55 family of machining centers and the new industry standard for enhanced speed and productivity.

Makino is demonstrating the latest in productivity and flexibility at IMTS 2000. Its A55E high-speed horizontal machining center is equipped with a Modular Machining Complex (MMC).

Makino's GF12/20 vertical machining center brings high performance machining to medium and large dies and molds. A large x, y and z axis 800" (2030mm) by 47.2" (1200 mm) by 27.5" (700 mm) makes it ideal for machining applications commonly found in the automotive industry.

MCD1816 horizontal machining center supplies theheavy metal removal rates, exacting precision and excellent surface finishesrequired for forging dies, large molds and other heavy but high-precisionworkpieces.
