Re: Direction follower ?

Hi Brian,

Thanks,

I too know that you cannot cut rectangles without lifting the cutter.

But, my intention is to cut patterns. curves and such.
So, just as you could curve your cutter when you cut by hand, the
cutter should rotate to always be aligned to the direction of cut.
