Hi @Anonymous 

 

I see the dive into full tool engagement near the end of the toolpath and have logged a ticket with the CAM development team on this behavior (internal reference CAM-12865). Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

 

I was able to use some sketch geometry for a machining boundary and a 3D Adaptive toolpath to give an option that will maintain the proper cutting load throughout the cut. This is shown in the attached file- I broke the link to the referenced component to get a local export copy. Files with referenced components can be shared with the public link.

 

I also found that the 3D Adaptive toolpath would sometimes show an "empty toolpath" warning unexpectedly, but would generate after another regeneration (CTRL+G or right click > generate toolpath). I've logged another internal ticket on this issue as well (CAM-12866)

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

 

EDIT: This thread blew up while I was investigating! Nice work on the workarounds - I still believe this is could be improved upon, as neither selection should give results with inconsistent tool loading.
