Yes, it is. I'd love to provide more details, but time is short. I would also like to create an online course with videos explaining how to use Linuxcnc. I don't know if I can do it. I am not familiar with it.
2 things that hold me back from building a 5 axis cnc: 1: no 5 axis lookahead (movement will be choppy/slow) 2: no 5 axis velocity limiting (meaning when the tool is far away from center of rotation and the rotary axis is moved at maximum velocity the tool (linear axes) can actually move way faster than defined in the INI and cause stepgen errors) at least thats what linuxcnc was lacking the last time i used it.
It has been a while. So far, the same problem has not occurred. I used to have stepgen errors in the past. I don't remember if it was the same problem or not.
Sorry for the late reply. For machines with 4 or more axes, when the rotary axis rotates, the origin needs to be changed. I have created a macro program to automatically change the work origin. To use TCP, I think you need to use a CAM that supports TCP. I am using FUSION360.
@@a-cnc-f Hello, I also have XYZAC and I am also trying to figure out how to utilize TCP, but till now I am haven't figure it out. So can you please guide me, I am using Powermill.
I decided to build a 5-axis CNC machine because I found Pocket NC. The reason why I did not buy a pocket NC is because I thought it was not strong enough structurally. I wanted to machine steel.
Awesome stuff thanks
Excellent job
👍
On the work I'm assembling 4th and 5th axis... So, it will be helpful with more detailed explanation...

You know any pc cnc condroler support tcp and g43 ?
Thank in advance
Linuxcnc or Mach.
I use linuxcnc.

Hello
i have a 5 axis cnc head-head XYZAC (When C rotates i have offsets in X and Y)
How can i utilize the TCP
Where can i find more info?

What do you think about PocketNC 5 axis mini mill? Do you watch JohnnyQ90?

Hello! I watched your course "How to set up Switchable TCP". Does it works on LinuxCNC 2.8.2 on RPI?
In 2.8.2, it does not work.
When you start Linuxcnc from the command line, it will start with 2.9.0.
@@a-cnc-f thanks!
