Using 4th Axis with Fusion 360 & Mach3

Hey!

 

I was simply trying to use the 4th axis to turn a rectangular block to face 2 or 4 sides, and pocket 2 sides. When posting, it simply fails. Not sure if Ill be able to do what I would like all in one, if not I am also fine writing it in (just knowing how correctly) or lastly manually rotating the block once each individual operation is done. Thank you for your time.

 

(Looking through the forums, it looks like I may need to enable "machine configuration", as in through mach3mill.cps, the code itself?)
A post where I am wondering if the attached M4x.cps file is something I can use, going to check it out:

You have it along the Y axis not the X axis and you have not set the WCS. 

 

There is a error in the file when you simulate the file it looks like there is a chunk being eaten by your tool holder, it is because you moved the model, I have had it my self it is not really there but just be aware.

Again, thank you so much. That posts fine for me now.

 

What a stupid error on my part - sometimes the most basic things are the easiest to overlook.  A case of looking at the trees, not the forest, so to speak.
