Hello , new to fusion 360. Wanted to see if I could get some help with this 3D machining of this part. Tried some different ways to get this done. Could you take a look to see if I'm programming this correctly or if I need to be surface milling this differently.
Thank you for your help,
Tony

It's not bad, but I would likely opt to use the Scallop toolpath, it just does such a nice job:
You are over complicating your selections. For the image above, all I did was select the top rim and define my heights
Top Height = Model Top
Bottom Height = Model Bottom

I would say that it does depend on the surface finish requirement and quantity required. Scallop CAN take a bit longer to run than, say, a Parallel strategy. The plus side is that selection is easy and it just does a thorough job.
Yes, Fusion is certainly it's own breed..
