Slot mills not working correctly for stock model creation

[Programinator 56]

Anyone notice that when creating a stock model with one of the toolpaths being a slot mill it does not generate correctly?  In backplot and verify everything looks good.  The stock model generated however, has a huge gouge.  I have seen this since 2021 everytime i use a slot mill.  Anyone know why its doing this?

Check that "Lead in/out" are correct , It's easy to miss on a back plot.  Else,  it could be "Rapid motion linear settings" in control def. Also make sure that all your rapid movements if possible are above the part.

Set the check box in stock model to use flutes only

Thanks JParis,

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I'm still using 2020

Most of my colleagues moved to 2021. I have noticed that when updating post from an elder version to a newer version: certain settings in control def do not retain.

Also, I have noticed that using a stock model for "rest machining" is not as good as saving the stock model to .stl and then using .stl as cad file
