3D Adaptive, rest machining

Cutting Air giving me hard time.

Try to find out what is causing the issue with rest machining with different type of tools.

In my project I am using flat cutters, high feed with radius and ball cutters.

Each type behave differently with the same settings for stock to leave and tolerances.

With my calculations for rest machining stock to leave should be 0.181 mm to avoid whisper cuts.

It works only with flat end-mills. With high feed to avoid it I need to cut with next tool 1 mm above the first one, go below the part or set stock to leave to 0.4 mm, but what with cases that you cannot to do it.

I appreciate any help.
