This is why my assumption is that I did something wrong with the lead-in.
Based on what Joeaverage said, it sounds like I need to untick lead-in and try ramp as it does indeed look like it's ignored my settings and like it's trying to start from the part center (like there's no lead-in code at all).
I set the bottom height to the lowest area on the part face to be machined and the top is set to the top of the stock. I then have the retract height set 5mm above the stock top. Does this sound correct?
