    Need Help May be a noob question

    Hi Guys,

    Were using a 5 axis Breton machine with a Siemens control.

    I'm trying to pick up a dowel hole on a compound angle face with an Interapid. I know the rotate and tip for the axis to square up the face to the tool axis. From there I'm not sure how to reset the axis to simulate a 3 axis machine on that face. I want to spin the dowel hole with an Interapid jog to zero and drive along that vector at that position. I'm new to this control. Any help would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Kevin

    Did you ever figure this one out?
