4 Axis Toolpath Issue

I have difficulty in machining a part which requires 4 axis. I just would like to get a toolpath which machines the part with the side of the end mill. Tool will only move in X and Z axis (or only in X axis). Unfortunately I couldn't create that toolpath. Any help will be appreciated. Part file is attached. Thanks in advance.

2D Contour > Wrap Toolpath is the closest your going to get in Fusion, when using the side of the endmill. I'd like to share a photo and file, but either my hotel internet is really crappy, or the forums broke again....

I will admit I have 0 understanding of your machine and setup on this part.. I would flip your 4th If possible and do it all from the top.

Wouldn't this be a 5 axis part?

should be able to do it in 3 maybe, but 5 sure would be nice for that angled face on the coil type portion.
