Mouldmaker,
“One – Hit machining is the manufacture of a complete part/component in one set-up of the machine”
That is supposed to be the true definition. It's easier on a 4/5 axis VMC but we did the project on a three axis. The part was for the Aerospace Industry and went through three ops to get the part finished - this was reduced to one and the set-up time went from 2hrs 50 mins to 2 mins 16 secs.
It may be called something different where you are, but I only know it as One Hit.
Thanks
