Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 5 Axis EMC/BDI

Hi Allan

The BDI EMC is allready compiled with support for up to six axis - All that is
required is editing of the ini files and hacking the prefered GUI.
You can do all the file editing from linux using the text editor found under
Applications (Just click on that odd looking K, bottom left corner).
There is a six axis tkemc floating around somewhere that is used with the NIST
hexapod.

Regards, Paul.
