3D Scallop - Skipping edge

I am trying to use a bull nose bit to clear out the material. I have extremely limited experience with 3D as I mostly just use fusion to cut wood for funky shapes or make templates for other items. This one I want to take a stab at 3D clearing, etc. It all looks good, but for some reason it doesnt want to touch that slant. Any ideas?Screenshot 2025-10-26 at 11.30.08 PM.png

Hi

 

Its probably cutting just fine, remember the toolpath is from the tip(center) of the tool not the contact point.

 

There may be better toolpaths to machine this feature.

If you can share your file we can take a look

Goto File>Export>save as .f3d/.f3z
