I have a problem milling part with conical (mill) cutter. I use variable contour method.

Take a look at the picture and attached part below:

Take a look at the file.

I copied the operation and changed the tool axis and the projection vector. The tool path looks OK now.

I changed the tool axis to away from line and used two points to define a line through the center of the part. I set the projection vector to tool axis.
