I let the file run and it is working but as i stated above it will take a long time. With Adaptive both 2D and 3D it’s doing basically a rest machining on each cut. That’s how it knows how to “morph” to maintain the constant tool load. And as I said above a .003 step down with the complexity of the part there will be a huge amount of tool paths. Once the actual cuts are created then the system goes back and adds the linking so once again with the amount of cut paths it will take quite a bit of time to connect them all.

 

My point being is this really isn’t a bug but a calculation speed issue that is and always will be an ongoing thing the developers are working on.
