Note
The following description of the universal milling head transformation has been formulated
on the assumption that the reader has already read and understood the general 5-axis
transformation described in Chapter "5-axis Transformation". Please note that where no
specific statements relating to the universal milling head are made in the following section,
the statements relating to general 5-axis transformation apply.
