Could I ask you to elaborate on this? With a 3+2 setup, where are the two additional axes? I assume one is a "lathe spindle" orientation along the X axis. Where is #5? Also, are you saying it steps the 4th and 5th axis and does a pass (no kinematics) or what do you mean, exactly. I have BobCAD, which I know does 4-axis, and I think does 5-axis GCode generation. Would these files work?
