2D Contour Finish Pass in X and Z

[Mic6]

Hey Guys. I'm just doing a basic 2d contour of a shoulder leaving .005 on the floor and .01 on the walls for a finish pass. I cant seem to be able to finish the floor and the walls at the same time. It will finish the floor, then come back and do the wall. I've messed with every setting I can find in "Depth Cuts" and "Multi Passes" Any Ideas? Thanx

 

 

Oh, and I have the same problem in pockets as well

Most times I make this 2 operations. Then you get exactly what you are after.

Welcome to the forum. Oh and the toolpath is doing what you are telling it seems weird, but this is how I handle it.

I don't think it will do what you like.

My workaround is to set the 'leave stock on X/Y and Z', then copy the op , uncheck depth cuts, multy pass and set the leave stock options to zero on the second op. Goes pretty quick for me.
