G43.5 Tool center point control type 2
Fanuc G-code · Mill
Five axis function. Like G43.4 but the tool direction is given as a vector with I J K and the control works out the rotary angles.
Verify on your machine. This entry could not be fully checked against the maker manual. Check your machine manual before you run it.

Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- This is an option for 5 axis machines and not all controls that have G43.4 have G43.5.
- The control can pick between two rotary solutions. Check the builder settings for which one it uses.
