1. Make sure 8 way QM plug is connected
2. From the main menu bar in VR Milling select the SETUP option
3. From the dropdown box select the SETUP MACHINE PARAMETERS option
4. Password denny
5. In Machine Capabilities select 1V A,B,C (1,2,3) and change 0 to a 1
6. Come out of “Set up Machine Parameters” and a new window should appear CONTROL PANEL windows with A axis details

Use the . and / keys for jogging the 4th axis

Note !
While it is possible to connect the 4th axis without switching off the power to the machine it is inadvisable to do so as damage to the drive card could occur.
