    5 axis milling control

    Hi friends ... I'll ask you some questions;
    Is Mach 3 software sufficient to control a 5-axis cnc machine?
    Some mach3 control cards are sold on the market, are these cards directly operated with mach3 ?
    Or do I have to program these cards after I get these cards?
    Is the Soldicam or Fusion 360 + Mach3 software + Mach3 control card sufficient to run a 5-axis cnc?

    Thank you...

    mach3 will run 6 axis + spindle perfectly.
    the motion control cards need no programming.

    These can run up to 6 axis with Mach3:
    CNCdrive - motion controls
    CNCdrive - motion controls
    No programming of the cards required.
