C axis Programming

What would the best tool path be, to produce this pocket?

Click "wrap toolpath" on a 2D Contour, Pocket, or Adaptive toolpath, and then select your face you'd like to wrap it around, and then pick your contour or pocket. You should be good to go after that, assuming your postprocessor is set up to handle it. F3D attached with an adaptive and a pocket.  See next post for a somewhat improved example.

You might want to use Tool Orientation to index it and machine this in two parts without a wrapped toolpath. File attached. I'll keep playing with the wrapping to see if I can make it work right. Edit: Improved wrap attached. It's close, but you may have to play with the selections and radii a little more to get it perfect. 

Ideally a 4 axis toolpath would do it, but that's still in development IIRC. 
Edit: Just tried with CAM Beta Mode on. It tries, but the toolpath definitely isn't there quite yet. Give the devs some time and this'll be easy 🙂 Til then, the tool orientation approach should get your parts made, or if you can tweaking the design a bit so you've only got
