Tool path Generation taking hours. Setup problems.

[mgeorge5WZ3D]

Hi, I am new to Fusion 360, I am trying to do some CAM toolpaths that I thought would be pretty straight-forward.  The toolpaths would seem to generate eventually but its taking 10+ hours? It seems to get stuck at 80% and "Generating".  I was hoping someone could check my file and see what I am doing wrong in setup.  Your help is much appreciated.

Are you just looking to deck the top of your wasteboard, or are you also looking to pop all the holes in it as well? All using the same tool?

Hi, I am trying to set it up so only the holes are drilled by the tool selected.

Adaptive is NOT the tool for the job, by a long shot 😉

Let's go with 2D Pocket and put it in a Pattern > Linear :

File attached for your review 🙂

This is great, thanks for the solution, last question how do I get the hole to drill right through the bottom of the material, thanks.

Give your Bottom Height (Heights tab) a negative offset, or use Axial Stock to Leave (again, negative)

Thanks again.
