Luban 4th axis milling is cool! And dumb... And dangerous!

Hi all,
I sent in a support ticket on this case, and Snapmaker confirms that there are some imperfections in the current algorithm:

Currently, linkage machining does not consider the shape of the tool. Considering the shape of the tool is a very difficult task. Currently, it is recommended to use rotation and set a relatively large margin. If it is a flat-bottomed milling cutter, it should be larger than the tool radius

I am looking forward to the point where Snapmaker will improve their algorithm - it would be a real game changer if they’d offer their linkage with correct result! Even expensive commercial software is often not offering proper XYZA machining. Go, Snapmaker, Go! :slight_smile: And thanks to Support for looking into this.
