The Legacy machines are interesting in that they are somewhat of a hybrid.
The fifth axis shown in the sixth thumbnail from the left shows it with a brief explanation.
Makes me wonder if that concept has a place in neck making where the headstock and neck could be machined in the same setup with flat endmills.
Not planning on buying one but their website and 5 axis conversational software offering is interesting.

When I was designing my cnc frame, I gave serious thought to having a lathe axis on it. There are a lot of things one could do with it from necks, to banjo hoops. But considering I wouldn't have a clue how to get my CadCam software to create code for such a beast, I left it out.

The video fourth down from the top here explains their logic on the 5th axis.
