Stuck on a seemingly simple toolpath.

[CrawfordRacing]

Can't quite get the proper toolpath for this fairly simple project. The problem is that there are angles on both the Z and Y, So getting a toolpath to hit both sections is not working out.

Current toolpaths will not allow the tool to hit the bottom contour. These are soft jaws, so it really needs to hit all the machined areas clean and square.

I have tried 3D contour, pocket, parallel, ramp, flow and now scallop. 

Open to suggestions.

Thanks.

I'm confused, the toolpath looks OK to me!  It would be easier to see if you defined your stock.

Take a look at the attached file. I've added 2 bodies to represent the stock plus created a helper surface so you can over machine the faces.

2 bodies added for stock

In the parallel ops I use the helper surface to machine past the stock at the ends.

Because of the angled bottom face the 2 parallel ops will leave and odd scallop in the corners so use a trace op with a smaller cutter to undercut the corners.

Thanks guys, I was able to add a steep and shallow toolpath to this and it fixed it right away. Unfortunate that it is part of the extension pack, but it did do a great job of generating the double angles.
