My B axis is a nutated table, so it rotates around an axis that is 45 degrees to the x-y plane. At b=180, the table is at 90 degrees. It's....weird. The array is not on/off, but describes a 3 dimensional vector. It could be [0,1,-1], but why change it if it works? 

To answer your question, yes the pp is edited. I got it from some user, and lightly edited to my needs. The edits I made are usually noted with my initials SC. Most of my forum posts are about the pp if you want to look through them. There aren't too many. 

I also changed the lower range of the B-axis to reflect the actual machine limits from 0 last night. In the Fusion360 machine setup, I have those limits in the kinematics section, and thought maybe the pp was catching that as a need to rewind. Looking at it fresh, I realize the cause is the C-axis range. The toolpath is going in many circles. Maybe if I changed it to cut both ways? When I get to my shop tonight, I will experiment with the actual machine limits for the C-axis. 

Thanks again for the help Jeff,
