Boundary Conditions for Milling

QUESTION
I am new to Abaqus. I’m doing pocketing analysis in milling, and want to know how to assign rotation for the tool about its own axis, and revolution of the tool about the billet center.

Usually a reference point is placed at the rotation center, that point is connected to the structure via coupling (or rigid body) and the point is rotated.
