Strange toolpath behaviour on external rads

I've tried using a couple of different finishing commands to machine this radius but they all keep throwing up strange toolpaths. I've played around with tolerances and smoothing with the Scallop and Steep & Shallow commands but I can't seem to get rid of the funky toolpath. Also with the ramp command, why is it so noisy on 4 points on the inside but nowhere else. I've tried all the commands on a chamfer and it worked fine but I can't work out why they don't work on the rads.

This was issue was answered  by Seth  @seth.madore  for someone else, answer  is, on both the Ramp and the Scallop try changing the Tolerance on both from the 0.01 you have to 0.5, anything less doesn`t clear it, couldn`t get the Steep/Shallow to work with that though 🙂 🙂

Looking at your model the radius appears to be a simple 0.5mm Radius, just wondering why you wouldn`t do a simple Contour with a Radius Tool ???
