no it does not. Assuming that the spindle has closed loop feedback and is tied to the Z -- Since you know the position and both the x/y axes are under CNC control, you can move the coordinated x/y/z in a helical pattern to cut it. It is more envolved though I do agree. I thought that is basically what you were doing at first...
