Face milling options does not include a back and forth option.

A back and forth facing option would be a nice addition.  The "both ways" option that is offered does a climb, conventional, climb conventional, and so forth, not the best toolpath for hard metal tool life and finishes.  "Back and forth" strategy with "climb cutting only" is ideal...  The option that rapids across the entire part every pass is not super efficient.

This is good! I'd also like to see a "spiral to center" option.

You can try using 2d/3d adaptive with your facemill as well.  This will give you a constant engagement always climb cutting.

Can you explain what a back and forth pass in climb would look like? Just curious .

Disregard, I saw in another post down below. Would be great to see that implemented.
