Trying to mill some pockets in aluminum. Instead of doing a helix pattern ramp in (which is great), it's also doing a helix milling pattern around the entire part.
Doing 12 pockets like this is going to take 9.5 hours to complete. Seems a little off.
How do I go about doing standard milling?
On the swallower pocket section, it'll do a standard milling, however when it goes to cut the deeper pocket, it starts the helical milling.

Re: How to remove Helix milling?
Assuming you are using Fusion 360, uncheck Ramp on the Linking tab for that operation

Re: How to remove Helix milling?
Thank you for the response. Yes, I am using Fusion360. However, I am not seeing an option to "uncheck" the ramping option. Am I missing something?

Re: How to remove Helix milling?
Figured it out.
For those that are interested, I went from 2d adaptive clearing to 2d contour, selected pocket and chose the face. That took care of trying to helix mill the entire pocket.
Problem solved.
