90 degree head attachment

[instrumakr]

Hello all

Has anyone used a 90 degree head attachment in a machining center?

I have some internal pockets in a large part and I was wondering if this could

be done in Powermill if the post gets modified properly. is it even possible?

I have a picture of the area I need to machine.

At long time ago I do something like that.

Just create an new workplane in X and Z (rotate in Y axis 90 degrees), Z- must be align with holes. Do drill program. To make drilling remove the thick from DRILL CICLE.

In process NCPROGRAM just turn OFF the automatic aligment. 

Process with your frist workplane. If you check nc code the drill gone be in X axis, check carefull Led In and Out to avoid colisions.

Here is an autodesk article showing how to post out with a regular 3 axis post.
