HI EVERYONE

I am trying to use a 90deg head on a horizontal machine with the spindle of the angle head face the machine table, I notice that when creating tools in NX3 there are 3 new subtypes for all mill types CARRIER, POCKET, HEAD, does anyone know if the head subtype is used for right angled heads and if so does anyone know how to use it.

If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks All
