NCTune CNC Toolbox
Tool orientation in a readable form
The tool normalizes vectors and reports tilt from +Z plus azimuth in the XY plane.
Angles to vector
Build a unit orientation vector from tilt and direction in XY.
Compare orientations
Calculate the smallest geometric angle between two tool axes.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are the results machine A, B and C positions?
No. This is geometry; rotary positions depend on kinematics, axis order, limits and the postprocessor solution.
What does azimuth mean?
It is the direction of the vector projection in XY, measured from positive X toward positive Y.
