Tool Orientation in turning - empty toolpath

Hey everyone,

 

i have a problem using the tool orientation in a specific turning job.

I want my boring bar to match the angle of the big inside chamfer. 

The advantage of this tool orientation would be, that i could work with a much bigger boring bar, without crashing the backside into my part. The toolpath works just fine with an orientation of -10°. As soon as i go below -10° (my goal is -30°) i get no toolpath anymore. If i turn of rest machining i get a weird facing pass, but nothing on my chamfer.

 

I attached an f3d with both versions (-10° working / -30° not working)

 

Anybody got an idea what to do here?

 

thank you very much in advance!
