This has fixed the crashing issue for me.
Credit to GBouman for the fix

That's about as deep as my floating ring will let me go.
Perhaps someone with a few more brain cells will chime in.
For the 2 and 3 axis stuff I do the simple verify I use is more than good enough for me.
To expand on this...
To be able to search for a tool and have relevant part files come up or where/what file the tool was previously used in
to copy parameters, etc.
The direction of the insert i don't think is important as far as actual machining is concerned.
The problems I generally come up with is gauge point of the insert which for threading inserts is the tip.
Nine times out of ten I have to alter the z depth of the threading op, especially up against a shoulder.
See Page 89 and onwards for steady rest info.

Contact your re-seller and see what they can do for you.
How deep are you looking to go?
Walter tools have some option with thru- tool coolant

(have fun with that link...so glad things are 'stream-lined' here)
Use normal contour operation.
If it needs to be roughed out 1st, then use groove operation and turn off finishing,
then follow with contour. Play with Plunge parameters to get the desired result.
There is a few things That needed to be done apart from what JParis stated above.
I reversed the plunge/cut direction to respect side and end angles, re-set tool width.
Changed wall back off to distance and .005 (groove and tool width are too close).
Added .02" rads to get rid of burr creation and to make it pretty looking.
Groove-aa attached

So instead of makijng a snip then copy paste we have to make snip, save said snip, drag said save to attach or browse to said save to upload...
OH boy oh boy oh boy, I can so see the anti extra mouse clicks brigade going absolutely spare about this.
