In most respects a Pi 5 is identical to a Pi 4. The CPU is faster.I am looking to implkement a 2 and/or 3 axis CNC on a Pi 5, using Python, Is there any code info out there on this subject,? I have only found for Pi3 & Pi4 so far
The Pi 5 uses a different GPIO scheme, but that can be accommodated.
Therefore anything you learn from the Pi 3 and Pi 4 examples can be applied to Pi 5.
Your biggest problem building a CNC machine controlled by a Pi is that you don't have a real-time OS. You would be better off running grbl on an Arduino and bCNC on the Pi, for example.
