Chris,
I'm in same boat. A lot of the 4 axis packages (including dolphin,
bobcad 17 and millright) claim 4 axis but what they do is axis
substitution. With substitution you can't mill the inside of a hanle
on a coffee mug shaped object. I'm hoping Bobcad 18 comes through
with 4/5 axis but I won't belive it till I see it. Mastercam does it
but it isn't worth the pain. I don't like the user interface and it's
documentation and training materials are a step below awful.

Let me know what you land on.
