    To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"

    Hello Robert,

    Have you ever thought about making the 5th axis to your Heiz machine? The
    Heiz controller is capable for 4 axis, and with another LPT port and
    controller and step motor would it be possible to drive the 5th axis? What
    do you think?

    Best Regards,
    Peter
      

I can see no reason why not, except maybe the difficulty of generating
gcode from cad to drive it.
EMC can handle up to 6 axes.
I do not have a reason for a 5th. axis on my machine.
What do you want to use it for ?

Best regards,
Robert
