Here is a great example of junk time estimates.  Look at the "Slot Finishing" op in the attached model.  If 0 roughing stepover passes is specified, it estimates 2:15 machining time.  If 20 passes is specified (doing 20X as much work!) the time estimate increases to only 9:48 (or 10:26 in simulation)!  I've set all feedrates to the same 40 IPM so we don't get tricked by lead-in/out, plunge, finish rates, etc.  This makes no sense at all....
