I am not sure if tcp will help here..see attached pic...maybe not clear but difference in green and yellow rectangle show difference between tool center and reusuting cut of a profile cutter where cutting edge is offset from center of tool..seems like b axis would need more z height to give correct cut on both sides of stock.

Removed your last post. You cannot just past images into the post like that you need to use the Attachment box.

I'm not sure what you mean but I'm also not a 5axis expert so somebody else might be able to say more.

5 axis is certainly a bit off the beaten track. You might want to try on the linuxcnc discord server or on a forum that caters more to 5axis machining and CAM applications. I'm afraid I don't have any links for you though.
