Toolpaths different when changing tool

Hi guys, new to Fusion and CAM in general and I've really hit a brick wall!
So the part I'm trying to make is a specifically sized washer, OD 51.5mm, ID 14mm.
I originally used MeshCAM V6 to cut the part but with just a circular toolpath in 316 SS I quickly burnt out my favourite HSS end mill.
I figured the reason was that with a curcular toolpath 50% of my endmill was always in contact with the SS.
So I thought it time to knuckle down and learn Fusion360.
I came up with this what I figured would be a perfect toolpath which I've attached below.
I then realised that I still had my old end mill selected.
So I made a new tool, same feedrate, plunge rate etc, just with the new dia.
When it rewrites the toolpath I get back to a circular toolpath which I just cannot for the life of me get back to the one screenshotted.
Any advice would be a MASSIVE help before I outsource these to be lasercut.
Many thanks, Craig
