Curve Following example CAM saw blade

#1
Good day,
we are currently learning how the curve following module works for blade cutting. 

We want to cut a rectangle with a blade meaning the toolpath need to retract and reorient between cuts. We have tinkered with the curve following parameters a bit to see if this is possible but the generated path is not wat we intended.

We managed to edit the generated path instructions so that it behaves as intended but this is not feasible for more complex paths.
   

Is there a way to generate the toolpath automatically just by tweaking the curve following project parameters?

It is necessary to generate a machining path specifically for the saw tool.
This can be done using RoboDK CAM:

We already have the RoboDK CAM plugin but no sawblade project is avaiable.

Also, our sawblade axis is perpendicular to the spindle axis (there is a small gearbox in between)

Could you share the RoboDK station an guide me trough how to generate the path? i could not find a tutorial for sawblade cutting in your website
