How do drag knives rotate through 90° corners without a CAM “dance,” appearing to follow an endmill-like path?
SST Drag Knife
Earlier drag knives needed and app in the CAM to "do a dance" in the corners to align the blade. I've seen a video of yours just turning a 90 degrees without the dance. How does your blade turn? looks like just a common endmill path.

Dear Steve,
That is correct. The drag knife follows a regular tool path ad it has a freely-rotating ball bearing that makes the turns instead of being rigidly held in place.
