Centroid 4th Axis Capable Post Processor

Centroid 4th Axis Capable Post Processor

We have a 4 axis knee mill (ACCU 2) running M400 control with a Centroid Rotary installed with the axis spinning about the X axis.  The rotary axis is labeled "W".  When I've tried posting the wrapped tool path I get this output(Below).  I really wish I knew enough to fix this myself, but alas, I'm not there yet with post processor jargon.  I know there are loads of folks using various Centroid controls & probably a significant number with rotary's attached.  I'd love to see the Centroid users get that capability.  Also, any suggestions/resources I should look at to get a better handle on this part of the CAM process.

Thanks folks!
