I was surfing for tool-porn today and while drooling over 250K CNC lathes the size of an 18-wheeler (I can put one in the living room if I move the couch just a skosh) I saw an ad for 4-axis CNC router, which kind of threw me for a loop.
If the X-Axis is left-right, and the Y axis is front-back, and the Z-axis is Up/down, what is left for the fourth axis?
And just for grins, I then googled 5-axis cnc and it seems that they exist too. Huh?? Where are these additional dimensional planes coming from?
