Igor, I could see the possibility of using your setup with a tap to tap threads into holes, where rotation and vertical travel must be coordinated, both going in and out/up and down.
or if you have a tool changer that requires given orientation of the tool before putting it away or getting it out, or chucking up a laminate cutter that has an orientation (like a knife) to cut vinyl, or something thin that is better cut or scored rather than routed. or putting in a non-conventional CNC tool. I have seen a college did a concrete extruder that had a small metal 'form' on 3 sides of the head, and the concrete would be extruded out onto a base and often on top of a prior layer. Orientation of the extruder was important especially when making curved walls. Now all that is just from the top of my head. For most folks and most industrial daily use, no, it is not that important. But if you need it, you need it! ><> ... Jack Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart...
