The ideal solution may be to do both.
Have the quill asigned as a Z axes and the knee as W axes.
The lighter cuts and drilling operations are best done with
the movement of the quill.
Heavy machining is best done with the quill fully retracted and
movement of the knee.
Depending on what kinds of work you do most you could do one
and then build the hardware needed to do the other later.
Good Luck |
