Your mcam dealer should be able to build whatever post you need. That comes with the maintenance that you pay for.
Using the post editor we want to modify a stock generic 5 axis post (trunnion) to a 5 axis post for a tilt head with a rotary on the table. We copied the post to mess with it but cant seem to get into it to modify values. This is X5...anyone done this?
We have had good luck with our Fadals milling mostly soft steel and aluminum up to 5 axis. We are always looking for spare parts :) If you have a broken down Fadal give a shout.

Sure $5K for a post. Maintenance doesnt cover 5 axis IIRC.
