I had a requirement to machine a part on four sides of the material. Ok, simple. Except, two of the sides tilted 6 degrees off vertical. To solve the problem, I used my indexer as the hold down and simply rotated it using the MB command to the proper orientation between cuts. Worked perfectly.
Here's the part without any 3D machining in Rhino:
33294
Here's the top of the part being machined.
33295
Here's a side being machined.
33296
Here's the finished part.
33297
33298
I wrote up a more detailed explanation on my blog: https://www.coryat.org/2019/10/four-sided-machining-with-indexer.html
