Rotary with Three-Jaw Chuck 4th axis component (D & M Machines)
Rotary with Three-Jaw Chuck for 4th Axis
*1 of 3 parts to the complete 4th Axis System
SOFTWARE: To operate the 4th Axis, you will need CAM software that is capable of generating tool paths (GCode) for the rotary axis. Aspire, VCarve Pro, Vcarve Desktop (new!), DeskProto, and Fusion 360 are programs we offer that have this capability. Cut 3D and Cut 2D (all versions) do NOT have this capability.
