Adaptive milling through pillar features

I'm trying to create a tool path for this small aluminium part. I need to clear the main face of the part and I'm using adaptive clearing. As you can see the toolpath wants to mill features that should not be milled and may not clear the face of the part properly. This is from an imported STEP file....

Trimming down old large files in the repo

Doing a fresh clone for the git repo I wondered where/what the bulk of the data was for. I ran a script that I use for locating large files in a git repo and have identified the following files and their size. These files do not seem to exist anymore in the current HEAD so I was thinking if these co...
