      <p class="para_topic">Relative To Part allows you to specify a tool axis tilting forward or backward, or to the right or left of what would otherwise be a Normal tool axis. At the beginning of each pass, the tool orients itself so that it maintains this position relative to the direction of cut. You have two tool axis specification choices.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Lead</div>
      <p class="para_division">Lead defines the angle of the tool, forward or backward, with respect to the direction of cut. A positive Lead Angle value tilts the tool forward based on the direction of the tool path. A negative Lead Angle value tilts the tool backwards based on the direction of the tool path. See the following figure.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Tilt</div>
      <p class="para_division">Tilt defines the angle of the tool, side to side, based on the direction of the tool path. A positive value tilts the tool to the right as you look in the direction of cut. A negative value tilts the tool to the left.</p>
