Does anyone, who has see the video know... if you can edit travel paths in mach 3 like the video ..ie teach the system how maximize its tooling efficiency with a digitizer?

Im just design my cnc system still, have not used mach 3 or beta vers. yet.
but like what i seen in the video....

[ger21]

You need 5 axis CAM software to create g-code for that, and I'm not sure that Mach3 can even run that code.

for programing 45 Rotary Axis Machining Leg....

is the a way in general ... to opitimize tool paths as showen in video
for flat carvings?

[ger21]

That's something the CAM software does. And what you're seeing there doesn't come cheap.

Sorry, I hadn't watched the second video where the guy creates the toolpaths by dragging a probe across the part. That's probably proprietary Thermwood software that does that.

Also, it's not 5 axis like I said before, but continuous 4 axis. Good 4 axis software should be able to create toolpaths like that, but again, they aren't cheap.
