So i have this part that I'm having trouble finding a good toolpath to finished the floor, and need to create it with a .005 rad, i don't know how but that's what the super smart engineers want lol, its also  being machine in a 5th axis machine so any ideas on how what i have in the file is just some unified toolpaths I'm playing around with, i don't really know much about the unified toolpaths, I'm a noob thanks!

That's a fine way to do it (although I'd switch One Way to Spiral..).  What's the production qty looking like?  It might be worth doing it with two tools, a larger ball mill to do most of it, and only using the small tapered tool to do a few passes right at the end?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! great ideas i thought no one had replied lol so i did it another way since i had to get it done asap.

Mike from CamIstructor helped me with it! my custom tool was also not created right with the geo i put but Mike helped me out with that too,
