Hello, no real reason yet, I was just wandering how it would be possible. I am still learning the cnc machining, and I see here on this list wonderful codes and ideas how to make more complex parts like gears, and I see some very nice videos on youtube about 5 axis machines. So I thought maybe I could try to make the 5th axis, first only in principle. The mechanical sollution could be like on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjPCEpZybXs You are right, the software part would be tough, but it still woths to consider, I will look around and search on the net.
