Do I need to move to master branch (I'm on 2.8) ?

As far as I know there are no important differences in this regard between 2.8 and master.

I am not clear what you mean about xyzac−trt−kins being crossed-out.

Try running the sample simulator config sim/axis/vismach/5axis/bridgemill which should be a lot like your machine.

That uses this kinematics:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...nematics/5axiskins.c

Which does not, as it stands, support a double Y axis. But it is a very simple change to make it do so. (You just need to add an extra joint and, in the kins, make it take the same value as its twin)

Or, you could connect the Y axis motor command to two separate stepgens. But the modified kins is the better way.

Possibly a rendering error?

I did play with the bridgemill sample. What is the W axis for? Docs refer to co linear. I can't jog it to see what it represents.

I don't understand the JW _joint_. The W _axis_ would be to allow easy jogging / movement along the tool axis for drilling operations.

If you set up the tool table with the correct tool lengths (probably in the W column, so that the XYZ position is not compensated erroneously) then I think you could
The length would have to be the total offset of the tool-tip from the pivot point.
