I am using mcx2 router at school and every body including the instuctor is new to some of the operations. The version we have does not include 4th axis and I am trying to do some simple 2d indexing, not continuos 4th axis. What I want to do is cut an inlay pocket in a cylinder in four diffrent spots 90 degrees apart. I know that there is a way to index useing either the x or y axis to perform the rotation then return to normal cutting operations then repeat and so on.
Is anybody familiar with how to do this operation or of another way to get it done.
All info is appreciated.

Look at the transform toolpath operation to see if that takes care of it for you.
