Why are some spindles mounted at an angle rather than flat to the A6 face?
Thanks

there are multiple reasons to either put the spindle on an angle (or not). It depends on your application and in what position you need to mill. Reasons could be: Avoiding singularity problems between A4/A6, Getting more clearance between your robot and the piece that your trying to mill and reach. There are probably more, but this is the first that come to mind.
I have all my spindles mounted flat to A6, For me the biggest reason to do that is that i needed to be able to use mill with the robot completely reaching over/around my workpiece. It also made the mounting flange a lot simpler to manufacture, but i count that as a happy accident.

Yeah I though it must be better access, stock avoidance. I might mount mine flat but on an 250mm extender to give me better access. Yet another bespoke thing to make
