Hi @johnc4668

Thank you for posting on the Autodesk Community Forum!

Can you please confirm which version of PowerMill you are currently running?

Can you confirm if you have flat machining turned on in this toolpath? If it is turned on, please disable it and recalculate.

Cheers,

@johnc4668

Thanks for confirming,

There are several updates available for 2018 and also 2019 that I would recommend getting installed. See here for how to update to the latest.

Can you turn off flats and recalculate?

Cheers,
