Hi Kirk I was looking for a answer to this question about 3 years ago and I did not get any help on this topic. I hope you will get some were with this problem.
I am using "axis" for my screen in LinuxCNC, on my machine, and it displays the fourth axis in the same way as (Gremlin). I think the best way to fix this problem is to have two machine origins. The first origin would be your home position with the cube work space of the machine. The second origin that you could turn on and off as needed, would be centred on the centre line of the rotary table. By shifting the second origin from the primary machine origin the fixed work space would give you no G code out of bounds error, that you would get if the center line of the fourth axis was moved to the home origin. I think this would be a good solution to the problem of the distorted fourth axis presentation. If we could just get someone with the know how to look at this problem, every one with a fourth axis would appreciate it. A accurate screen presentation would be very helpful when checking a workpiece setup.
