Yeah I called into the local reseller. We might have someone coming it to help for a couple hours to work out the problems I'm having. I was hoping to save up our remaining "Training" days that we got with the machines for something that I truly didn't feel comfortable tackling. When I figure it out, I'll make a post about it because I COULD NOT find anything after digging for hours on how to get to the bottom of my issue.
I appreciate the feed back though. If anyone has anything else, feel free to post your thoughts.

Hey all,
This is my first post here. I'll skip pleasantries and get right to what I need help with. So far I have learned a ton from this forum, a really great group of people with a ton of knowledge.
At our shop we have an M560 Mill and we want to start running some 5axis or at least 3+2. We went out and picked up a Tsudakoma TWA-160 Trunnion. The way we have it set in the machine is on the +X far side of the table with the actual body running in Y if that makes sense. Basically The table would tip down towards -X. I cannot seem to find anything on finding the center of rotation for a Trunnion that goes +30 -110. Would you "Trust" the manufactures claim that it's 55mm below the top of the table (minus Subplate) or how do you find that out.
I have quite a few years of 3 axis and 4 axis lathe (machining and programming) experience, but this has me a little stumped. If you could help even just point me in the right direction to find the information on my own, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cool, Thanks I'll have to keep that stuff in mind.
