Aligning turning tools (CYCLE800) - millling/turning machine

Function
The purpose of the "Align turning tool" function is to support combined milling-turning
machines, i.e. milling machines which have been expanded to include turning functionality.
Tool orientation in the turning mode is implemented using a swivel axis (e.g. B1) with an
associated milling spindle (e.g. SP1).
