Title: Mach Tool Change 5 Axis Screenset
Post by: jlmccuan on May 04, 2020, 08:14:31 PM

I need a ready to go, or good place to start, to have a 10 tool carousel, 5 axis screenset without all the fancy bright colors and blinking lights.  Any suggestions?

Hi,
Mach3 and Mach4 can do five, in fact six axes, but neither can display 5axis tool paths at all well.

Mach4 has a editable screen set which may give you the look you want but there is still the issue of how to display the tool path.

I'm not too concerned with toolpath as I sim all my toolpaths after posting and before running anyway.
