tsk, tsk, tsk Cliffy... Basing your lack of knowledge on ads and press releases now are we? Now, why not stfu before you look like a bigger fool. Yes VX has simultaneous 5 axis routines. Yes the post processor costs extra.


Get a clue cliffy.


So do you know for sure whether it supports multax or not ???

"Yes the post processor costs extra. "

Correct, this is very typical in the industry. For simple, 3 axis machines, most people can custom make their own post processor quite easily with the machine's documentation. Where it gets tricky is the 5 axis machines, with vaious coolants, tool changers, etc...
