    5 Axis horizontal programming

    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

    Are you asking about programming a 5 Axis horizontal machine like the Yasda for example?
    I did that maybe 10 years ago.
