Suggestions to mill angled pockets - 6 axes robot

Hi everyone,

I'm exploring a bit fusion 360 potential and I was wondering what could be the best strategy to mill angled pockets for a 6 axes robot - and if it's the right tool for it. I am trying some approaches with "pocket clearing" and then finishing but they require quite some time and multiple phases for fairly simple geometries, and also they are for 3 axes machines, I was hoping to exploit more the potential of the robot. An example of an angle pocket could be this:

Also, any suggestion for the best toolpath export is welcome. I'm using CVS files so far but possibly it is not correct if the tool is changing angle.

Hard to tell for sure from the photos and without having the file- but the swarf toolpath in the machining extension would or sure do a better job finishing those walls as you could hit the entire wall in one pass with the side of the tool since you have multiaxis options.
