Thanks Hood
I Just discovered this software it looks like it dose the math for
Mach3 users for 4th axis turning ( I don’t know anything at all about it at this time but iwould like to)
Thanks rusty
Check it out at http://www.legacywoodworking.com/
4-Axis CNC Forms
(part no. S4AXISFORMV1)
$99.00
This spreadsheet allows you to quickly enter parameters to generate G-Code for milling spindles that feature router bit based turnings, flutes, reeds, and spirals such as rope and barley twist. The code is then loaded into Mach 3 to control Legacy's Ornamental Mills with the CNC upgrade.

This Spreadsheet will run in Microsoft Excell or OpenOffice. (OpenOffice is a free program that you can download from www.openoffice.org.)

General Mach Discussion / Turning on a 3 axis router the 4th axis being a indexing head or a rtating head

HI every one
I would like to know if Mach3 will support turning on a 3 axis router,
Using a forth axis as a rotating head
I would mount stock between centers just like on an lathe and then use router to shape stock or flute round columns, or turn a spiral leg or whatever, Just like you were using an ornamental mill will the add-on mill package software support this type of tool path 
any one tried this
thanks rusty
