Default What is this 4 axis set up called?

A torus is 4 dimension so you need more axis than 3.
Many shapes - saddles are multiple dimensions. Saddles are not just for
horses but holds pipe and rods. All sorts of shapes require more than
an old fashioned 3.

Try to mill a Propeller with a 3 axis - have the 3 blades cut in their
complex shape.
