Thanks for the reply, even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
I was hoping there was a tick box that I just hadn't found yet that said "Limit Rotation to 360deg"
Oh well, looks like a wish list item to be submitted.
Cheers!

I am needing to implement this same feature to limit rotation, did you find a way to do this?

Hi,
I am setting up a new system with a tangential oscillating knife and have run into this same problem.
All works well until I cut an ovalised hole - it follows the arcs correctly on the G3 commands but when it gets to the straight between the arcs (G1) it rotates the knife unnecessarily as it follows the straight path.
This naturally snaps the knife blade, which is not good and costs ablout $140 each.
Have you had any success in overcomming this problem? or is there an earlier version which you know works correctly.
