parallel tool path is plunging on the end of a face selection plus a Z inversion

there are really two issues i think.  I ran a number of tool paths with out issue.  A face, a contour and an adaptive clear.  no problem. 

 

then i ran a parallel for my fine finishing.  the tool path seem to be inverted in the z axis.  it is a guitar neck that i am working on. instead of a U shape I was getting an upside down U shape.

 

So i went back into fusion trying to sort this issue and what i see in the simulation is the proper u shape but at the end of each pass the tool plunges off the face i am trying to clean up.  it does this on both ends of the tool path.  I have tried many different setting with zero success.
