Hey All, I Talked To Mike Lynch About Creating A Tilted Toolpath In Z Plane Using A Adjustable Anglehead, He Told Me About Coordinate Conversion On The Machine. Has Anyone Ever Used It,and If So Could Give Me Some Ideas.

Haas has Coordinate Rotation and Scaling as an option but this works in X and Y. What do you mean by Coordinate Conversion?

Do you have a Haas manual? I have not used them but I think what you are looking for might be described under G codes 155, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, and 169.
