RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 5-Axis help

Hi, Brian:

There are some G-Code interpreters aimed at the low cost market that handle
up to 8 axes - TurboCNC, for one - that don't cost an arm and a leg.

CAD/CAM programs, however, are a different matter. In one manner or another,
Isaiah will learn to write software. Either G-Code or a CAD/CAM program.

|Hi, first you may want to price 5 axis softwear!!! The price of such may be
|way too expensive for the home shop guy..maybe 5 to 20 thousand
|dollars...and another thing making a 5 axis machine and being able to get
|repeatability might require some fancy machines..do the homework and
|estimate the cost before you start! good luck brian f.
