Milling pockets on 45* angled with mill head on 45* angle.

Recently i have ordered additional accessory for my CNC. Its Adapter plate to install spindle on 45*angle.

I Have good results with programming Swarf strategy, its look almost like it. But i cant get g-code out of fusion. It spits out some bits with failed notification. Machine is running on mach3.

I was trying as well 3d pocket with tool orientation but first of all i think is not what i should by using. Because Its changing WCS. Movement (Z) up and down in slot should be interpolated movement of Z and X axis when tool is at angle, if i get it right.  And this 3d pocket i cant get generated post processor as well

 

I kind of spend some hours on that problem and at the moment i have no more ideas. Need to go back to productive work for a while, I will get back to it in few h. If someone have some ideas would be great.
