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....
