How to manage the point-to-point

treated as tool changes with the appropriate offsets applied or would they be
considered as separate axes?

Just wondering if anyone out there has had experience retrofitting a
point-to-point woodworking machining center to run on EMC2? I'm thinking of a
machine such as the Biesse Rover which would typically have 1 or 2 router
spindles, vertical and horizontal boring heads, and grooving saw. Having

How many total axes would there be? If there are more than 9 then

Sounds like it would be prudent to have each tool controlled by independent
instances of EMC with m codes to pass control to each as each new cutting
operation is called. But of course I am
Gentlemen,
I just watched this

Is this a copy/version of the machine you are thinking about?
If it is then EMC2 will control it. It is just a three axis mill with
multiple heads. You will be able to control them easily. Programming

You can't, unless you do it on separate computers.
If you don't need full coordinated motion on multiple sets of axes, you
may be able to implement some sort of HAL modules to do what
