Dear all, I would like to know how to configure the 4th axis so I can mill using a 4 axis router that as a spindle that can rotate 180 degrees from left to the right? The part doe not move, as neither does the table. It is the spindle that tursn horizontaly. See this video on second 0.25 : https://youtu.be/CaGIDEIynfk . I am testing the "machining extension". Thank you for your help.

Hi.  It sounds like you are trying to setup a machine simulation.  Can you share your machine model and CAM file that you are working with?  That will make it easier to help you.
