I just downloaded the demo version of the latest sprutcam software (5.4 something) and am curious about the 4th axis functions. The website shows that they can now do continous 4th axis machining although there doesn't appear to be any tutorials on these functions. I am trying to evaluate sprutcam versus visualmill for 3 and 4 axis machining. The biggest consideration for me with the fourth axis is continous 4th axis function otherwise I would do manual indexing and save the extra cost of the 4th axis machine. Can anyone give me an idea of the 4th axis functionality of sprut? I think the VM is a little easier to use, but sprut doesn't seem that bad, considering the learing curve, but the sprut price is attractive.
Thanks for yor feedback.
