Transform rotary to cut spline???

Cutting a spline with a double angle cutter on a rotary table. Basic contour tool path then transforming about the x axis. Verify looks good, but posted code keeps changing the w/c. Angles are correct just, every angle has its own w/c. Tried messing with every parameter I could in transform.. If this doesn't/ can't be made to work, any other options??? I saw a similar post, just no one answered. Usually I would use a manual entry, but the teeth are pretty fine it would be a huge pita. Not to mention I need to have it verify and post correctly.

Reading the other thread and now personal trials. In x6 I can't have "increment" be zero (have not tried in older versions yet personally). All other combinations give same results g54,g55, g56....even with work offset numbering checked as off. I tried doing axis substitution, but having issues because I am using the side of the tool. Bangs head
