Right angle head attachment

Hi,  

Is there a way to use a right angle head attachment with Fusion cam? 

 

Thank you in advance.

There are no "built in" solutions to speak of. It is doable, but it would require a fair amount of post processor editing, as the axis would need to be changed and drill cycles would be long hand, again, with axis substitution (Z becomes X or Y, vice versa)

Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.

Why would you need to use axis substitution?  I once worked at a shop that did it that way but when I went into programming we did it with G17, G18, G19 and got away from axis substitution.  This was for a right angle head on a large VTL.

That's....a good point. Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I was looking at it from the Fusion side of things and not the machine. I'll try to test that out if I have time today.
