Re: 4th axis
When using the wrapping/rounding toolpath gadget, set your desired finished diameter initially in the job setup form. Then proceed to using the gadget, setting the size of your rough blank in that form.
You will need to create a new job if you wish to change dimensions as recalculate is not supported in the gadget.

Re: 4th axis
Normally, the rounding gadget is used to create a round blank that subsequently has other work performed on it.
The way I use the software is to use the gadget to create the round blank. Then, if I need to reduce it further I use the pocketing tool with the raster option selected.
