As a spur gear tooth cutter one needs 0-360, but a helical gear cutter goes above 360, a worm maker may need up to 10 turns, a thread miller may want a lot more. For a hobbing machine many hundreds or thousands of turns but returning to the real homed 0 or arbitary angle in less than one turn is the important move without any offset as another cut will be made
