I believe there are. There is this very old video of a monstrous old 5 axis Cincy after it was retrofitted to Linuxcnc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxxdq6y8z8M If you google 5-axis Linuxcnc for videos you get lots of hits.

I just wanted to present my situation and what triggered to open this discussion. Anyway I'm using my machine for afternoon job opportunities which are appearing from time to time, but I was wondering if there are users who are running Lcnc on sirius (retrofitted) machines with more than 3-axis. ________________________________ From: Todd Zuercher <zuerc...@embarqmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 3:05 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] max_velocity during execution - multiple axis Unfortunately this is a limitation that has always existed with Linuxcnc. The new TP helped relieve the problem with 3 axis carving, but these limitations have always been there. I don't think the developers can be blamed for you not knowing the limitations of your machine (and its software) when you bid your jobs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomaz T." <tomaz_...@hotmail.com> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 9:35:34 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] max_velocity during execution - multiple axis It surprises me that there were not much discussion about this "drawback" regarding TP, when trying to use it on machine and g-code with rotary axis moves. For example in my case I have to do an offer for milling PU foam pieces, where I could use higher speeds for cutting (like 2500mm/min), but unfortunately geometry of final pieces demands full 5-axis final cut where I can now reach only about 650mm/min, that means my machining time exceeds way over budget and I'm "out of business". ________________________________ From: Klemen Zivkovic <klemen.zivko...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 8:05 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] max_velocity during execution - multiple axis It should complete whole combined move in 1/F minutes. So if F=2 whole move with acc dec takes 30 secs. In my gcode processor I calculate it from speed/distance and unit is 1/min for each segment of toolpath. Beeing axis unitless it can be applied to axis with different distance units.
