This is one of those things where CAM and real life don't match.

Because fusion has no idea what the boring head is actually adjusted to it cannot simulate it.

 

In reality it doesn't matter, I bore a lot of holes and don't even think about it.

 

You can set the diameter of your boring bar to the hole size(in the tool library), so change it from 18mm to 35mm, and then it will show material being removed, but if you use the fine boring cycle with shift it will show a crash when the tool retracts as fusion only can simulate rotationally symmetric tools in milling(For now) so the tool shifts into the bore.

 

In real life the spindle will orient and retract away.

 

It would be nice if fusion simulated the bar being offset and then orienting and retraction, but for all intents and purposes it doesn't matter
