We are always debating on the benefit of the Box Way and Linear Way, it depends on the purpose of machining for the workpiece. The box way is recognized as “Heavy-Duty” Cutting, stability, less vibrations, and higher pricing. The linear way is made for HSC (High Speed Cutting), light duty, higher precision, and lower pricing.
We have categorized the pros and cons for the Box way and Linear Way, to help you choose the most suitable machine.
Higher Rigidity
Less Vibration
Better damping
Heavy Duty Cutting
All Purpose
Slower Rapid Speed
Higher cost
Stick Slip
Lower Accuracy
Faster Speed
Higher Accuracy
Less worn out
Light Duty Cutting
Low Rigidity
Only Suitable for particular material, ex. Brass, aluminum.
Easily damaged when the machine crashed

The Box way is preferred when working with harder material, higher loading, and all-purpose application over linear way. The benefit is that no limitation for different types of jobs.
