Category: Advanced Configuration
I have added rotary axis (workpiece rotates) to my 5-axis machine (BC head). I created separate config, as I want to run it as an "ordinary 3-axis" machine with 4th axis. So, configuration is changed in the way that all axis are homing but then after I use only XYZ and rotary B (as it is parallel to Y).
Machine works OK, only thing that is causing me problem now is preview of toolpath as it is not wrapped around Y.
Here is how it is programmed:

And how it is displayed:
