Transform Plane (configurations other than Universal)

The Transform Plane feature is available for the non-Universal configurations. It is used with 4-axis or 5-axis machining centers to machine non-rotary milling or drilling features on multiple sides (i.e., planes) of a workpiece. Part zero is reestablished for each transformed plane in a Transform Plane Reference Points data block; the tool automatically moves so that it is always perpendicular to the transformed plane.
