While it's true that cutting a long rack on a vertical mill with a fly cutter is difficult because of interference with the head, it's not impossible.
I've never done this, but it's possible to hold the rack vertically, tilt the head to 30*, and grind your fly cutter with the correct shape to include the 30* offset. The rack should miss the head.
