Question
I have this 4 sided fixture to put on a 5 axis machine. I want to machine the same piece on each side of the fixture (4) so it's mostly going to be C-axis movements. I'm just confused, I plan on programming it normally, origin on top(side of the fixture) but I realized how am I going to define the side of the fixture as the origin? Is it on the machine end or on the mastercam end to define the A-axis shift?
