Does anyone have a simple 5 axis NC file that will run under Mach4 just for testing?

You can hand code a very simple 5 axis file.
G01 X1 Y1 Z1 A10 B10 F50
G00 X0 Y0 Z0 A0 B0
M30

This assumes inches and A, B are angular not linear.

That's perfect thank you so much.

Just to let you know you may have to use G93 Inverse Time for the feed rate to come out right with angular movements we have to use it on our 5 axis water jet we are still on Mach3 but I would think its the same with m4

I'll keep that in mind.  Thank you.

I'm using inverse time on my 5 axis router with Mach4 and it seems to be quite buggy. It constantly violates the acceleration parameters and causes my stepper motors to stall and ruin the whole job.
