Hey sorry for late answer.  

 

I manage to make my machine working with 45 degrees tilted spindle. Main point was using other post processor. I try to attach my post to this post.... Its post processor made to work with 5 axis machine control by mach 3. But i remove tool offsets from turning axis so there is no compensation for distance from tip of the tool to rotating axis.

 

Usually when you turn your milling head tip of the tool is turning around your turning axis so post need to recalculate that. But in my case spindle is not rotating, its just attached on 45* angle. So i don't need compensation. 

 

Feel free to ask additional questions. Have a look on post. Try it if you are brave enough :face_with_tongue: 

 

If i would do project like you are doing i would for sure make one program for vertical spindle and separate for horizontal.  But of course if you are in production of many things you can connect them and use different WCS's.
