So I’m going to build a new cnc machine and I’m curious if I gave it 5/6 axes would vcarve be able to utilize them. I know it can do rotary so I’m not worried about that.
—Thanks,

Re: 5 axis carving
Vectric products only toolpath a maximum of 3 axes, even when you are doing rotary work. You would need a different CAM package to move 4 or 5 axes at a time.

Re: 5 axis carving
Vectric also does not model or cut any undercuts.
