You need to enable "Keep tool down" and set a suitable maximum stay-down distance for the exit points to work.

@FrodoLoggins

It is working correctly from what I can see, the whole idea of the "Exit Positions" appears to be to clear the tool exit to a position away from the part, so that the distance for the "Exit Point" would need to be at least the diameter of the tool plus the settings that @mattdlr89 gave you, very logical, see the image below and the attached modified version of your file, as your tool for that operation is a 0.5in dia I placed two points that are 0.625in away from the edge of the part as an example so that it is easier to see what happens when different Exit points are selected, only an example, seems to work fine here 🙂 🙂

Update, on the previous post, apologies, my mistake, it should read the Radius or more of the tool, not Diameter 🙂

Somehow got bogged down with the Diameter, usual rubbish happens when leaving something part way through then coming back to it later 🙂 🙂 🙂
