Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: Rong Fu RF 45 vs RF 31 CNC probe- Help!

Andy,
Mach2 (www.artofcnc.ca) will drive your 5 axis without any problem. (free
demo and $149 for the full version). Regarding the generation of G-code for
5-axis here is one solution (if you have 3D-studio).

If this doesn't work for you, prepair to spend some real money!

Good luck!
