      <p class="para_topic">High Speed Machining requires that you have the following elements:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Machine Communication: &nbsp;High speed communication is required to accommodate the ptp files, which can be up to 100 MB.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Control Technology: &nbsp;The control must be able to process large programs with many small moves at very high speeds. &nbsp;Some controls also use NURBS interpolation.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Machine Design: &nbsp;High speed machines are designed with the drives, acceleration, and deceleration needed for high speed movement of heavy parts.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Balanced Precision Cutting Tools and Holders: &nbsp;At high spindle RPM's, special tooling is required to minimize vibration and maintain rigidity.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Machining Techniques: &nbsp;There is more to High Speed Machining than just going faster. &nbsp;Cutting strategies must be changed for successful High Speed Machining.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Tool Path Generation Cam System: &nbsp;The CAM system is designed to handle high speed machining.&nbsp;</p>
