How to shorten rapid distance on a wrapped 2D contour toolpath

Im doing a 2D contour with a wrap to cut a chamfer. How do I get rid of the tool going 360deg around the part. Trying to get rid of extra tool movement.

When it does go around like that it shudders. See video below

Is this on a Haas machine?

 

If so you need to use Highfeedrate instead of Rapids:

You could also do the two edges in two separate toolpaths which would make it so the rotary is rapiding by itself. not combined with the linear axes
