Re: Bobcad 18 does 5-Axis machining?

John H.,

Generally there is a rotary axis parallel to "Z" called "C", and this
is rotatable on the "X" axis called "A". As the "A" axis rotates,
the "C" becomes "B" axis (parallel to "Y"). See the GEM500G folder
in the photos section for the 3 .GIF files I just uploaded. These
show my design.
