3D FINISH CONTOUR

First problem I see is you have "0.0" for Arc Sweep. This is not allowing an Arc to be created, at all!

Your Boundary is allowing the Tool to "roll" around the corner.

Surface Finish Contour is funny like that sometimes.

I would build a new Containment Boundary, and take the two lines that lie along the walls of your part, and extend them out straight, 2X or 3X the diameter of your cutter. Then trim those extended lines to a new vertical line.

Then "uncheck" the "allow line/arc outside boundary" checkbox. This will force the entry/exit line/arcs to be fully contained inside the Containment Boundary.

With Surface Finish Contour, in general, I always spend extra time to build a "good" Containment Boundary. It is often the CB itself that is instrumental in getting the Cut Motion of the tool to occur when you expect it to.
