Not sure what 6 axis is but, here is a link to a site that sells a head that converts a 3 axis to 5.  Check this out http://www.5-axis.com/

I have converted a 6 axis machine, it was a Walter Tool and cutter grinder (see attached), worst part for me was that it was the first retrofit I had ever done, but it's been working for over a year now.
