From what I have read in the documentation, the G5x commands provide X,Y,Z offsets, but not angular offsets. I would like to apply small angle offsets to the G-Code for a part, mounted on a 3 axis mill, to accommodate a fixture that is tilted in some random way. What is the nicest way to do that? I am not drilling holes, just surfacing, so I think this is not asking the impossible of a 3 axis system, at least for small angles.
I could put the tilts into the CAD system, but that does not seem the right place to do this. I thought about pretending that the mill actually had 3 angular dof, in addition to the X,Y,Z dof, and wondered whether inserting fake angle values into the A,B,C positions at the start of the code might produce the desired adjustments.
