I am hoping someone can explain why I am getting two different toolpath between 3D/CUT over 1 extruded surface and 3D/PLANAR cutting over 5 surfaces that have the same size and shape as the extruded surface?

I am using the same ballmill tool on both, with the same scallop height set on both, and leaving the same amount of stock on both.

I ended up sending the 3D/CUT toolpath out to the mills, because it did not have the big stepover in the corners as the 3D/PLANAR toolpath did.

I am concerned about this because there is going to be a time, when my only option is to use a 3D/PLANAR toolpath cutting across multiple surface's and I am going to have to be able to trust I am getting a .0001 scallop height, and it seems at this point only 3D/CUT does this correctly.

Thanks, Ken
