Hi Scott,

I don't see the -W- axis...in the same axis of -Z- how can I see that ?

(excuse my english..I'm a french Canadian)

Hi,

NCPlot doesn't currently support multiple axis in the same plane. Is this for a boring mill application? I've seen boring mills with the quill or spindle as the Z axis and the saddle in/out as the W axis. Is this the same thing?

HI,

Yes it's for a horizontal boring mill.and yes it's like a quill.many of our HBM work with 2 axis in the same plane -Z- and -W-.

Could you email a sample program that uses the W axis?

I'll add this feature to the wish list.

Thanks,
