Shift Amounts In Post For Rht Angle Head

[Trevor Bailey]

Has anyone ever tried to define a right angle head in their tool library before?

 

I will be running a job soon with 4 different right angle heads. One will be turned 17.5 degrees from center. This question is for you post gurus out there. What would be the best way to accomidate this in the post? I know the distance from tool tip to center of holder and the tool will never be taken out of the holder. I was thinking of setting up a misc inter that would see the tool in question and shift cooridinates appropriately. Are there any better ways to achieve this? Also, what would be the best way to add "shifts" in my post?

 

Thanks,

For anyone who wnats to know, I have set up different sections in my post titled "pxyshifta-b-c, etc... I am using these in conjunction with "mr10-8". I have set up the post to "ask" the programmer if he/she is using a particular head and tool tip offset from center of holder. Everything works great!!!
