      Answer

      There are currently no predefined toolpath strategies in Fusion 360 specifically designed for using right-angle heads. However, this does not mean you cannot use a right-angle head with Fusion 360.

      To use a right-angle head, you must first modify the post-processor and program your toolpaths using Tool Orientation.
      Tool orientation is mainly used for machines with multiple axes. The post-processor must interpret the multi-axis toolpath for right-angle heads and convert it into a z-axis right-angle head toolpath.
