Abstract
Embodiments of systems, methods, and computer-readable media for machining materials are disclosed. For example, one embodiment of the present invention includes a method for machining a feature on a work piece (100) along a curving tool path having the steps of controlling a relative translational movement between a tool table and the work piece (100) along the curving tool path and controlling a corresponding angle of rotation of the tool table with respect to the work piece (100) to maintain a substantially constant angle between the tool table and the corresponding relative translational movement between the tool table and the work piece (100) along the curving tool path. In another embodiment, a computer-readable media includes code for a carrying out such a method.
