    CNC 5 Axis Router Post Processor

    We purchased a new PDJ Inc 5 Axis Router Machine which runs on a Mach 3 Controller. We are not sure if the Post Processor is to be programmed from the Tip of Tool or Center of Rotation of the head. We tried to reach out to the router seller and he isn't sure either. Is Mach 3 capable of supporting 5 Axis Machining from tool tip? Kindly advise.

    Mach3 don't have RTCP...
    Some post can create something working but without any RTCP capabilities as full controll of TCP speed, displacement of working piece in different position thant post-processed position, etc.

    Hi Shineworld,

    Thank you for your response. Since I am new to CNC Routering just wanted to confirm if RTCP meant Machining from Tool Tip?

    Thank you.
