    In cad there are only x,y,z,
    Cartesian coordinates

    A,B,C are the machine axis
    A rotates about Xaxis,
    B rotates about Yaxis
    C rotates about Zaxis
    Been doing this too long

    Exactly
    Only the ABC on the machine MAY be different.
    For instance, the 4th axis on my EDM is U and it rotates the spindle head.
    You will find a lot of variations for extra axis on machines depending on whether they are table mount, spindle knuckles and rotations or wire EDM (which has offsets for the head to cut tapers (almost like a dual XY)).
