The development of CNC technology has made five-axis machines cheaper and more popular. The ability to manufacture most workpieces due to their enough degrees of freedom has driven many researchers to look for new applications on this machine. This paper presents a method for producing a face-milling cutter head and face-milled spiral bevel gears on a five-axis machine, with appropriate coordinates derived from established mathematical models and inverse kinematics. These coordinates serve as a basis for programming the NC cutting codes, whose correctness is verified using the CNC machine simulation software, VERICUT.
