1. A method for operating a machine tool having a first number of machine axes which are each moveable via a drive and are each actuatable via a control unit which is configured to perform a coordinates transformation around a second number of machine axes relative to a reference point on the machine tool, the method comprising:
a) providing a parts program for machining of a workpiece via the machine tool;
b) determining at least one axis of rotation from among the machine axes and blocking the at least one axis of rotation for actuations;
c) determining control commands for a plurality of machine axes excluding the at least one axis of rotation determined in step b);
d) setting the at least one axis of rotation determined in step b) into a machining position and determining a corresponding rotational movement;
e) determining an adapted set of control commands for the plurality of machine axes based on the control commands determined in step c) and the rotational movement determined in step d); and
f) machining the workpiece via execution of the adapted set of control commands.
