Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

When performing a Cut on a model, it often snaps to 5* increments, but it also doesn't plenty of times.
I try angling the cut at 90*, but it keeps snapping to 89.3 or then jumping to 90.5 or something.
To be able to manually type the angle to cut at would be nice.
when I stop holding down the mouse when rotating the cut tool, and then I try to adjust the rotation more, the rotation is based off of where the current rotation started, not from 0. So if I accidentally let go of the mouse, I need to undo the rotation (and sometimes leave the cut tool) to get it to reset to 0 (that being a flat plane parallel to the bottom of the base plate) to try to angle it again.
the cutting tool can only rotate in either the x-z plane or the y-z plane. but not the x-y plane.
When I rotate the part to try to get it to fit on the build plate, and then want to perform a cut - the "cutting plane" auto orients to be flat with the bottom of the build plate, and there is no way (that I see) to rotate it to another orientation. (again, in the x-y plane). I have to get out of the cutting tool, reorient the part on the buildplate to be level with the bottom of the build plate, go back and cut, and then go back and reorient the part to fit again.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

a third degree of rotation for the cutting tool (x-y, to add to the x-z and y-z that you have)
a text box to manually assign the cutting angles for the three planes. (zeroed off of a flat plane parallel to the bottom of the base plate)

Describe alternatives you've considered
