Shake up at OneCNC?

[SRT]

KK,
The tombstones are as you are mentioning in the photos, but they are not limited to just 4 sides. As you may already know some have 2,3,4,5,6 sides. The ones I was programming for and using on a HMC even had a part on the top, also getting an operation machined on it.
As far as the solids helping as you restate in your previous post, it is necessary that the benefit that is received must be worth the cost of the investment. I realize the benefit of solids in other areas of machining (no question there), but I'm still "trying to determine" solids benefit in programming as in indexing. I'm not just looking for something better than my current software, but rather, something that will do these particular indexing process better. The questions that I was asking earlier in other threads, about the verification in onecnc being a still shot verses a moving verification (as in MC & some others) of the rendering, is one of the reservations that I have about this software in this decision. There is a lot of things happening in this situation verses a group of vises setting still on the table.

What are we talking for 4 axis capability?
Just curious.

Hardmill,
In reference to the $$$ question, are you asking prices of a vertical mill that has 4th axis capability=?, or the rotary table that goes on the mill to perform the 4th axis capability of the mill=?, or the cost of the programming softwares that I am investigating to help with the 4th axis programming of the mill and rotary table=?

Thanks to all who donated your helpful suggestions.
But....well.....yep.....,
It's back to reality,
Using what I was origionally using for 4th axis rotary table programming,
"Work Offsets" and sometimes, plenty of them.

To clarify, I sent back the Expert after 28 days when I found out that it wouldn't preform as it had been explained to me that it would. I found support to be very lacking. I had to call several times in order to get them to call me back, once I started asking the right questions. To get them to call back on several ocassions, I even had to call the office phone operator, to ask them to get support to call me back, after support didn't return my direct calls to them. I started feeling that I was onto some of there software problems, and they were just letting the 30 days return time run out on me. Then they wouldn't refund my $4500.00, so I called in the Credit card company, and they were told 2 different times that the money was going to be sent back. But it didn't happen as they were told it would, those 2 times. So when the allowed time was nearly expired to get my money back, the credit card company told me that they would have to do a charge-back against them in order to get my money back. Prior to sending the Expert back, I had been getting some very bad feelings about what may occur in the return process dealing with this software company. I'm sure glad that when I sent it back to them, that I had a notary public send it back for me, as proof of return. "Finally" I received my $4500.00 credit.
