I've used the RhinCam 4th axis which I guess is much the same thing. I use the same post as for 3 axis work. If you've selected one of the "4th axis milling" options it'll use the relevent code (MA or MB, JA or JB, etc). You might need to make adjustments to the post in "Setup", "Utilities", "Post Processor Generator".

When you use the 4th axis in visual mill you have to make the y axis equal to zero all the way through the program, using the shopbot post from visual mill.
