Has anyone here tried to cut an Impeller using Mastercam Level 3 with Solids and a 4th Axis.

My new employer wants to know if this can be done.

This information will lead to a Purchase of X4 and a HAAS Rotary.

Toby what type of impeller some are no issue for a forth and others will be hard to no go at all. allot of them can be done on a 4th.
X4 by the way is not released yet we are still in testing right now. but if you bought X3 right now you would receive X4 when released.

I called you and left a message. Can you call me back if you have about 10 minutes?
