See Kibbe, et al
p 550-551 for a more detailed description of vertical spindle milling
machine.

Note that this
is the most flexible type of milling machine.�
On the newer Dynamytes, there is no real separate knee or toolhead or
quill.� Have a saddle that slides along
base and a table which slides in the saddle.�
Ram can move up and down, giving the dynamyte machines 3 possible axis
of motion.� Again, recall that the
controller can actually only move 2 of these at any time, making the DynaMyte
milling machines 2 1/2 DOF machines.�
(This is little tidbit has found its way onto many past ME/IWSE 683
finals).

Further note
that in this generic case, one has 3 DOF between table, saddle, and quill
(giving full x,y,z positioning) and 2 DOF in joints between toolhead and ram
(control of normal).� Thus can have 5
DOF with just these, in addition have sliding motion of knee, and swiveling
and sliding motion of ram.� What do
these extra motions allow??� They allow
one to overcome machine travel limits and work around obstacles.
