Right-angle milling head

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a right-angle milling head to use on this horizontal mill. I do have a few questions on how to add tool and program it with Mastercam (fully licensed);

1 - can I just add the tool in the tool library and go from there like I do with a threading tool (importing model)?
2 - does the post needs to be modified for this to work?
3 - if I want to use the tool in 8 different angles, do I need to have 8 different tools or mastercam would offer that option?

much appreciate in advanced.

Remember any time you want something new in MC they will find a way to charge you a few thousand dollars. I set up several angled heads and my trick was to use three axis drive curves to so what I needed without any extra multi axis modules, I would created wireframe curves and drive the spindle axis and z axis intersection point as a large cutter and would use 3d curves or trace tool paths.l

Thanks warrenb, I totally understand what you're saying, I prefer to just leave the post alone---been burned in the past.
I do have to start somewhere and your notes are strong start indeed!

1 - import tool model at desired angle
2 - generate code with modified machine definitions. no post modifications needed.

cheers!!!

Print FX not know what version we are talking about. there is youtube videos like from Eapprentice.net showing how to add the option for adjusting the machine def to support angle heads to the X series of Mastercam.

also if you asked your resealer on doing the mode I know it it would not be thousands I would be really surprised if it were even 1K.
