@Anonymous Looking through your original file again and I noticed you have model enabled and selected in your op, you don't need model enabled in this case as the model is selected in the setup. Generally you only use model in an op to add patches to cover features to improve machining\finish. For example if you have engraving you can add a patch so you have a continuous surface while finishing, other ops without the patch selected will ignore it.

Generally leave model unchecked.

@cj.abraham did you remove an attached file? I tried your suggestions in the original file and after waiting a few seconds the simulation still shows collisions. The file I think I downloaded from your post showed a load of collisions because the flute length on the cutter was too short.

Here's what I see with the original file with rest enabled and helical ramps, file's attached. Just reducing the smoothing tolerance to 0.1mm will fix those collisions.
