odd depth of cut in scallop operation

HI, I am cutting a wooden spoon. Top and bottom. the setup is set to stock thickness .75 and the stock bottom in the heights section scallop is set to .52inch. .52 because the bowl is cut in this op.

Strangest thing is all is good, and one spot which is a space in design, the end mill goes to .952. This is like a drill op showing small spirals going to this depth.

I see the spot is simulation yet do not have skill or ability to edit this point. .952 does not stretch Z limit just not supposed to happen.

I guess easy plan is to model using parallel or other operation. Please tell me how to fix this.

to set heights I find it easier to do Origin and then offset the depth. Ie Origin and offset is .52

Thank you, JR

If you are saying there is a hole in your surface that the toolpath is dropping into then you can usually fill it by using the "Patch" facility to cover the hole, see image below.

If that is nothing like what your issue is then can you please upload your file by going to File>Export>Select f3d format>Save to a location on your computer>Then attach it to your next reply by using the "Attachments" facility at the bottom of your reply
