4th axis tool path control

4th axis tool path control

I know this has been brought up in the past but this is a problem. The multi-axis controls produce only 4 + 5 axis paths. The 4th axis only works with cylinder wraps and not cone based shapes. Yes there are 4axis post processors but when this following tool path is on this shape, will only post under a 5 axis post processor. I'm including a screen shot of another program that generates 4th only tool path with a complex shape and it allows 5 axis position lock.
