Carbide, Welcome.
You can do alot with them programmed externally, its just a bit more time consuming. Iam work ing on some barrel cams now that have a nonliniar pitch so the calculations get a little tediousm but Ive done tapered helixes and some pretty complex 4 axis stuff. The Scarry part is when you have a 7 minute helical ant the indexer is turning in one step. Even after dryrunning it acouple times ya get that little posterior pucker if ya know what I mean
