QUICK TIP: Adaptive Facing - A constant engagement facing toolpath

Hey Guys!

Personally, I love the Adaptive clearing strategy, especially 3D adaptive. Whenever I need to face a part, instead of using the facing operations, which by default does both climb and convention milling, or wastes times rapid-ing back and forth, I use adaptive. It's super easy to set up, it looks awesome when you're running it (especially with large facemills), and it's constant engagement. 

Here's a quick video [1:30] on how I set up an adaptive facing operation inside Fusion 360.

Is there a way to use chip thinning option in 3d adaptive facing?
