• The angle is measured on the Z-X plane taking positive direction of Z-axis as 0 deg. It is
positive when measured in the counterclockwise direction and negative in the clockwise
direction.
In the figure below, the angle is expressed as A135 in 1 mm unit system control since the angle
is measured in the counterclockwise direction.
For the angle shown in the right of the figure, A225 and A-135 will give the same taper.
