For some reason, I sometimes have the problem that my tool won't go around the part. The spacing is exactly 4mm, and my tool is 4mm as well. What do I have to do in order to make it work?
Thank you!

2D contour is not model aware so if you split it into two separate 2D Contour toolpaths it should work.+
Yo need to make tool in Fusion smaller in diameter by small value, instead of 4. mm make it 3.999, tool in machine is still 4 mm.
I thought that as well, but for some reason it is model aware. There are 2 separate paths.
The problem is you've selected both those contour in a single 2D Contour operation, it is not aware of the model but the contour selected. You need to create two separate tool paths. One selecting the left hand contour I can see in the image and a second with the same setting selecting the right hand one. It will mean that "slot" will be machined twice.
If the lead-in/out moves in any way interfere with each other, it's going to fail, regardless of the tool size. As a test, eliminate the lead moves and see if it succeeds
