Gentle persons: First, let me apologize for flitting on and off this list. I won't bore you with the details, but on-going health crises in two generations of my family are making a hash of my concentration on the fun stuff.

Even though I had given up on evaluating Synergy because I had different objectives, I should have noticed that right on the Weber website under product info are the claims "4-axis and 5-axis, indexing and tool positioning" and "multi-axis turning." That should have been enough to make me dig deeper. As you say, this may well be the least-cost way to get there. My free-evaluation period for Synergy has expired. Have you tried these capabilities, on a real machine or on a simulator?
