@seth.madore I just wanted to clarify something. What I'm after is the ability to use a 4th axis by lock Y in a given position, and then program toolpaths on X, Z, and the rotary axis. So technically I assume you could call it a 3-axis operation, where Y is locked in one position.

 

This is very easy to do with a tool like VCarve Pro.

In F360 I understand that there's the ability to use "Wrapped toolpath". But then you'd have to lock both Z and Y in given positions and then be limited to program toolpaths just on X and the rotary axis. Is that correct?

 

This is very easy to do with a tool like VCarve Pro. It'd be great if a similar feature could be made available in the regular F360 license. I presume it is something that a lot of hobbyists would be interested in.

 

Thanks!
