It isn't easy, but I have done it. You must 1st which all of your X and Z moves. Also used length offset to set distance from Tool gage line to centerline of of cutter in the right angle head. Then I set the variable #V15 to set the distance from the centerline of the spindle to end of the tool.
This should start you in the right direction.
