Wonderful! Just a little note on the retracting and returning moves - I think that it needs to move the tool out of material along the central axis of tool (usually that is parallel to Z, but for 5 axis situations it would differ) and then move to that defined position. Returning would be the same in opposite order. Otherwise, if the tool is in material, then it would break it, if moved straight to the defined position. Also one more question - is it possible to tell it move only up along Z, respectively, define only Z target and use whatever X and Y are at the current moment?
