See images below for selection/setting areas using the Tormach Post Processor.
If you wish to do an operation on for example the front of a part that is at say 90 degrees to the top face then you just use the "Tool Orientation" facility and at the machine the G Code will have an A90 command that will turn A Axis so that the part is then correctly aligned with the Spindle so the operation can be performed.
If you are wanting to do full continuous rotation operations the if you do not already have it you will need to purchase the "Machining Extension".
If this is a milling machine, there is not need to change the post into a turn mill post.
As @engineguy pointed, you just need to define the kinematic in the post.

What you are showing is the machine kinematic definition in the machine file.
I have a doubt about the definition of your rotary axis.
The rotary axis is either changing the tool orientation or changing the part orientation when used.
If it is changing the tool orientation, it should be defined in the "head" branch of the kinematic.
If it's moving the part, then it must be in the table "branch".
Your definition put it in the static branch. It's incorrect.
Second point, what @engineguyshowed you, is in the post option dialog when creating the gcode.
As the tormach post may not have been updated to grab the kinematic definition from a machine configuration file, it's not a necessity for this post, now, to have that file.
But as a kinematic may be required, the post processor is exposing parameters in the Nc program dialog when posting.
