When you say Baxis Lathe do you mean a Mill/Turn machine?

If so Top will give B0 or B90 depending on what machine. Some machines when the B-axis is Vertical its @ B90 some @ B0.

A right plane will give you 90 degrees to the top plane.

 

Just use T/C planes for tilted B-axis work.

 

What is the machine Make and model?

Thank you for the response. And yes Its a Mazak mill/turn with B axis head. I kind of figured that you use the top WCS and just change your T-plane to get the correct angle needed. I take it the normal Mill 2D & 3D toolpaths are used as well, or can use you the multi-axis toolpaths?
