    PathPilot 5 Axis Support/Capabilties

    Does anyone know whether or not PathPilot (please note I said PathPilot, not Tomrach, I know the stock control board won't support it) will support 5 axis control? I know default PathPilot will display 4 axis, defaulted to A, I'm sure C could be shown in place of A, but can A and C both be displayed? Does anyone know?

    Thanks in advance,
    Zach

    Re: PathPilot 5 Axis Support/Capabilties

    I had a conversation with one of the software guys a while back about 5th axis support. They said that Pathpilot aka tormach does not support 5th axis and no support on the horizon, since they do not sell any 5th axis products.
    I am not sure if linuxcnc supports 5th axis or not.

    Linuxcnc supports 9 axis coordinated motion.
