Are you asking about programming a 5 Axis horizontal machine like the Yasda for example?
I did that maybe 10 years ago.
I understand when your doing standard horizontal work
with a pallet you work in the front plane and transform
to index the tool paths
what about full 5 axis work?
when doing full 5 axis work on a vertical machine you always keep top for the tplane ..
Thanks
