This paper presents a geometrical error compensation of tool alignment for B axis controlled machine. In precision machining, tool alignment is crucial parameter for machined surface. To decrease tool alignment error, plus tilted tool from B axis center is touched to reference work piece and checked the deviation from original position. Same process is performed in minus tilt. Comparing these 2 touch positions, wheel alignment error in X axis and Z axis can be calculated on B axis center. Experimental results show that this compensation method is efficient to correct tool alignment.
