you have not reviewed Emastercams Free Ebook on Horizontal machining? They make great learning materials, here is a link https://www.emastercam.com/freebooks/ i would encourage you to review how they use planes for HMC work. I fixed the planes issue with your wcs in the file attached.

Hello JoshC.

Thank you for the link and modify the plans setting up. I forgot to note that we use Top/Top way for programming because we use to switch program from Horizontal / Vertical

due to schedule conflict and we don't need post out B degree with angles (like B0., B90, B180...). The B angle always post out B0. then machinist input those angle provided to machine when setting up.

Best regards.

Metric
