Rest machining appears to not be fully working when turning and therefore a lot of time is wasted.
I have apart that is reduced in the middle, I clear a lot of material out with a triangle tip and then move to a grooving tool with a R1.5mm tip,using sideways turn groove.
The grooving tip spends a lot of time cutting material that has already been removed in the previous op, the rest machining option is turned
on.
Any ideas?
Seems to be a problem with grooving, if you set up a tool to cut from back to front it works fine.

How odd, if you set grooving to be full step down instead of sideways it also works.
Surely this is not by design? - Will report as a bug.
