    4th axis work

    I use HSMexpress for all of my 2.5d CAM, and I have a few smaller projects that require 4th axis work.

    I cannot find any videos or tutorials on BobCAM for solid works 4th axis, does anyone use this, and if so, can you give me any insight into how useful it is, and how big of a learning curve the 4th axis stuff is in BobCAM for solid works?

    Have a look at this, search YouTube;

    F1 Video 2_ Indexing.mp4
    V26 4 Axis Rotary Tool Path.mp4

    It is in V24 or V26 version but you have an idea how to do it.

    I have done some testing in V3 with the indexing, making a hexagon out of round stock.
