Fusion 360 generates dumb toolpath when I use rest machining for a lathe

Recently I have been trying the rest machining function for a lathe but sadly it doesn't appear that i know how to use it.

I wanted to do the finishing pass with a different tool then the roughing so I put stock to leave and when I turned on rest machining it made a weird toolpath that for some reason went from left to right. This isn't a problem for the lathe or the tool but it takes much longer compared to it going the right way. It would also sometimes hit already finished surfaces and potentially break the tool.
