Drill Point Selection: 4-Axis Positioning

[@caseywaite599]

In following this, it won’t let me change my tool axis control to 4th axis, any ideas why? When I try and change it snaps back to 3 axis, yet I am on a 4 axis post

Hey Casey, I'm here for the same reasons you are. I know your comment is old but I got around it by enabling Rotary axis positioning/rotate around X axis and using the created hole axis line for the toolpath geometry.

​@@joeadams2527 Because MasterCrap is a scam. You have to buy the "muli-axis" package for that at the tune of $6k , which is actually geared towards "3+2" axis milling and not 4th axis milling and will actually cause you more headaches than using "axis substitution" in the basic package. It's actually criminal how much they charge for this garbage software. In 2024...Still can't mill two simple windows in the top of a part 180 degrees apart from each other without having to physically make a separate work coordinate at the machine. Absolutely ridiculous.

Why do you not define safety zone?
