There is a 5 axis sample configuration you can try out. It may not match your machine exactly but you could change it to match.

I think that in the sample 5axiskins config the W-axis is used for tool-length compensation.
I also seem to recall that you can drill angled holes using coordinated, moves in the W axis.

I think this machine is doing W-axis moves around 2:28
