Hi @kieran.gill,  I also agree with @FrodoLoggins.

 

Flat always takes too long to generate / regenerate a toolpath and in my case, it always leaves stock on selected features (see image below highlighted in red) even when I have machine over holes tab selected or when I create patches/ surfaces over the holes and select them for areas to machine. most of the time resulting in a secondary toolpath (2d contour) to clean up the missed areas.  

 

I do find that horizontal does produce a better toolpath in regard to fully machining flat faces, but I also find horizontal a lot harder to limit the faces it machines due to the toolpath not having a touch/avoid surfaces tab
