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

Thanks Henrik
I checked it out.
What about good boards 5 axis and drivers? Roger has some concerns on
the structure of the machine for 5th axis drive and bearing strength.
Maybe it can't work. Any thoughts on the hardware side ?

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!
