Hi everyone.
Since I bought my (2nd hand) router, I've been focused on getting used to the software (Aspire and Mach 3) and using the x, y and z axis. I'd like to try some cylindrical routing now.
It seems to me that I need to tell Mach 3 to use the a axis in stead of the x axis but, short of swapping the plugs, I'm not sure how to do this. Is there a G-code I can add to the start of the code to tell Mach 3 to do this swap?

For a fourth axis you just need 4-axis G-Code, your CAM should be configurable for this,

Thanks Nick, I've just found a menu item in Aspire/Gadgets called Wrapped Job Setup which looks like it might solve my problem. Now to get my small brain to expand just a little bit more :-P
