Notice that the cutter is tangent to the faces at each touch point.

This configuration caused the cutter to Swarf mill the faces, cutting with the cutter side.

Notice that the motion is interrupted at one point and the cutter retracts to clear height.

The retract motion is caused by the gap in the geometry. The cut along the lower edge is interrupted.
