  1. Try switch it to '3 axis' in the rotary axis control...

     

    Use 3-axis to rotate the part while the tool axis stays parallel to the axis of rotation. Also called polar conversion, this replaces linear motion in X, Y, or Z with rotary motion. For example, if this is enabled about the Y axis, instead of the tool moving linearly in Y, the part will rotate to the Y-axis position. This is typically used to machine a toolpath on a face of a part.

  2. If you set your path to 'enter at middle of first wall' it wont do the weird move in the corner. (if thats the problem you are talking about?) 

     

    The backplot flip can be fixed by going into the backplot options and turning off 'simulate rotary axis'

  3. Maybe trying using morph between 2 curves. A similar part was posted by someone else and I had to rebuild the groove surfaces to get a decent toolpath. The surfaces overlapped and where generally problematic.
