    V25 : Setting up a 4 axis cnc router ( B Axis ) on the Z

    Hello Everyone,

    So this is the first machine that I've setup using the BobCAD CAM V25 software. I had to setup the machine to support a B axis rotation on the Z slide of a 4 axis cnc router. I walk through the setups of setting up the machine definition ( at some point I want to show how to design and load the stl modes for full machine simulation ) loading a solid and programming the part using our multi axis wire frame tool path, posting in 4 axis.

    So check it out and let me know what you guys think!

    Very cool, Al! Just got in a 4th/5th for my mill. Need to add a controller for the 5th, and get it all wired up, and then I'll be giving y'all a call!
