The angle between the angle reference axis and the side of the workpiece appears as the ROTATION ANGLE in
the BASIC ROTATION function.

Select the probe function for compensating workpiece misalignment.
If you will need the current basic rotation later, write down the value that appears under ROTATION ANGLE.

Make a basic rotation for the first side (see “Compensating workpiece misalignment”).
Probe the second side as for a basic rotation, but do not set the ROTATION ANGLE to zero!
