    Question Why can't I use one pass here?

    the part is ~.53" and I'm using a 1.0" bull end mill (r=.0315) but master cam tells me it can't do one pass because its not big enough?
    Any clues would be good thanks!

    ETA: the file is attached, as well as a picture of the issue

    Turn on "Auto Angle" ... or set "Rough Angle" to 90° or 270° to machine the thinner section

    omagosh, thank you. The instructor gave us hard limit on our verify time, and you just saved me 10 seconds, and gave me the finish I want
