    Gibbscam 4 axis toolpath

    I have been programming with Gibbscam for 10+ years, but everything has been 3 axis, or 3+2 machining. I just got a part that has radial, blind slots. I have been messing around for numerous hours trying to figure out how to program this with smooth 4 axis contours, and cannot figure it out.
    Part is going to be machined in a Matsuura MX-330 with the radial machining about the Y-axis.
    Being programmed with Gibbscam Version 12 with all 4 and 5 axis modules.

    Any help in regards to how to properly apply toolpaths to radially contour the slot and radially pocket the bottom, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks
