I apologize if this is off topic but it was pointed out that my original
problem had nothing to do with gouging but rather using offset compensation and
rotating the axis
Is it possible this feature will be added in the future

Because you are asking for a square corner, and not getting it.
You should know that you are going to have a rounded corner, and the

By the way, I think that it is great that you let us use cutter compensation
while doing inside corners. Every one knows that these corners will have a
radius of the end mill, anyway, and this is usually acceptable when
pocketing. For perfectly sharp inside corners, after all, we would need to

I've "fixed" this by disallowing what your code does, and giving a
proper error message if you try it. Thanks for brin

I think this is a bug you have found by rotating the coordinate system
while cutter compensation is turned on.

As far as I know, this error always, without exception, points to a bug in G
code.
Most likely you are trying to mill out some area with an end mill that is
larger than the width of the area.
You may need a smaller end mill.
