5 axis leads and links

How do I control the leads and links in a 5 axis toolpath? I can get the tool to follow a curve but the lead/links stay normal to the Z axis.

 

Actual model is hidden but this shows the path.

Are the links gouging the model?

No but they should look like this.

Would you be able to share your Fusion file privately?
File > Export > Save to local folder, and email it to me: seth DOT madore AT autodesk DOT com

Please reference this thread so I understand the context

Sent a follow-up email with some suggestions. Using Steep and Shallow and reducing your Heights produces a toolpath that I think you will find acceptable, do let us know!
