    4 axis simultaneous milling

    I am researching CAM packages for 4 axis milling. I am currently looking at FeatureCAM and for the life of me I can't figure out how to mill this object by using my 4 axis with a simultaneous 4 axis machining strategy. I would expect that this part should be easily milled from a bar mounted in the 4th axis and having the y axis move to allow the tool to reach the undercuts.

    Please don't suggest other strategies, I am specifically looking on how to do 4 simultaneous axis.
