4th Axis - Rotary macro to probe the center line

Hi,

Is there any probing macro for 4th axis avalaible to plot the center line like in pathpilot ? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoLmzCZ8Yis)

Thanks !

I use a 4th axis on a router regularly.
There will be plenty of UCCNC users that do also.

Use a couple of macros to align my 4th axis centreline etc. These have onscreen buttons to activate them.

Just have no need for a macro like shown in the video.

I don't use any existing UCCNC macro.
Couple of simple macros of my own that suit my situation and my 4th axis setup.
The body of my 4th axis has good surfaces to probe and so reference both horizontal centreline as well as height of the centre of rotation.

My point was that many 4th axis users have no need for the routine shown in the video and hence the lack of response to your question.
