i dont think i got this in the right section ... please move if not
here goes ...
what im trying to understand on a rotary axis is how is the g code defined
for example , ive read (or watched you tube vids) that when using for example aspire vectric , that the x axis ( for example , could also be Y ) is unplugged and the rotary axis is plugged into this axis , so really the machine becomes a y and z linear machine and x rotary (so still a 3 axis machine not 4 ? )
but now if you had to use solidcam, camworks, etc then you could have a true 4 axis machine , so you could rough a piece of material lets say at 0 degrees, then rotate it 180 degrees and rough it again. Then do a finishing pass using the rotary axis ?
is that the way it works ?
