Would G68 be a help for you?

THE BLOCKS ARE WELD ON NOW THE BOSS WANTS TO PICK UP EVER BLOCK AND CUT WELD SMOOTH. JUST STAYING OFF THE BLOCK .001 TO .003. THEY HAVE .05 TOLARANCE ON LOCATION. SO THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Are you using probe software like Inspection Plus or something else?

also, are you on a rotary table or just trying to machine at that plane angle or just trying to straighten the plane out normal the machine axis?

WE DONT HAVE INSPECTION PLUS.
I TALKED WITH A GUY FROM MAZAK THIS MORNING AND HE SAID WE COULD USE XYthCNR PICK UP. HE WAS GOING TO PLAY WITH IT ON THERE MACHINE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. STILL WAITING TO HERE BACK

Hi. Can you post a rough wire-frame sketch of a block giving some angles. This may help us to see your problem.
