Phosphate coating is used on steel for a different reason than a plated finish. The treatment reacts with the prepared steel surface and forms a phosphate crystal layer. That layer can then serve as a base for paint or retain oil on a mechanical component.
A 4-axis machine can reach more sides of a part without removing it from the fixture. A 5-axis machine goes further by moving the tool and workpiece through multiple angles during the cut.
