Helical Contour Toolpath

Anonymous

I try to create a helical toolpath which will plunge 0,3 mm per revolution. However Fusion 360 doesn't create proper helices. It will ramps for a while but then stops ramping and starts to feed flat toolpaths which increases the machining time substantially. I have attached the file. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you are just wanting to ramp down, turn off "Multiple Depths". It's a case of giving it too many inputs. Turning off Multiple Depths and leaving "Ramp" turned on will give us a continuous ramp down (as defined in the Ramp settings) to our bottom depth:
