Very easy with the conversational side of the control. Go to the special menu then choose rotate and input the values. Toggle the rotation off when done.

Thanks. How is the program structured for a 360 deg. rotation? We are trying to cut a cone shape.

Hi
If you are talking about a cone shape, i would call that a 3d shape. I am sure rotation is used to rotate a shape or Bolt pattern. Example say you programmed a slot from "0" to the 3 O'clock position. With rotation you could rotate it 180 degrees and it would go from "0" to the 9 O'clock position.

Take a look at the Taper Wall option found on the End Mill Cycle event (on earlier software versions). Just program a Start Mill Cycle, a 360 degree arc, and an End Mill Cycle with the Taper Wall option turned on. You can play with the numbers to get exactly the cone segiment you need.
