5 Axis Machining on Tormach?

[Viroos]

I'm just looking on those tilting motorized rotary tables (P/N 31996 and 31997) and wondering if there is any chance that Tormach adds another stepper to these tables to allow 5 axis machining?

There's no driver or connection available in the electrical cabinet for a 5th axis, so as far as I'm aware nobody has done it.

Here's a video of a 5 axis on a Novakon Pulsar. The Pulsar is about the size of the 770. Not sure how he did it but you could ask him.

It's also worth noting the Skyfire CNCs come (optionally) with a 5-axis controller.

Tormach actually did a prototype, and there was a video here...

But they seem to have removed the video, although the story of the prototype is still there. I saw the video earlier this year.
