Hello!

I have horizontal mill with 4 axes (XYZ + rotary table):



Now it is configured for XYZA axis, but geometry is wrong in AXIS window:

1. When i jog A axis the cone (tool) is moving around X axis, but in my mill is moving around Z axis. So i guess i must setup XYZC axes? (is C axis moving around Z?)

(if so, hope information from this topic will help me:

2. Even if angular axis will move around Z axis, the cone shows tool will be vertical. How can i set it horizontal (going out of Y+)?

I think Your Z axis should be the spindle ram.

Z axis is always inline with the spindle axis.
X is the longest travel perpendicular to the spindle axis so your your knee up / down is X or Y.
