Many thanks - will upgrade and try again.
Re: Really simple question
Now got it working on 0.20.
Still something odd going on. Zigzag and line cuts work as expected
But Sprial cut leaves waste in the middle
Anyhow - I will continue my journey of discovery - big thank you to the developers here.

Re: Really simple question
You need to reduce the stepover. When set at 100% of the tool diameter there will always be uncut areas for anything but the simplest retangular shapes.
It also appears that the extension is too small. For these pointed corners a full tool diameter is needed, not the default half-diameter.

Subject is now not helpful - I will open a new post.
Having played around I am now convinced there is a bug in spiral pocket path with extensions. See new post for more details.

Re: Really simple question
A bunch of the patterns on pocket are really almost useless. I think we should disable all but the simplest ones. For a something like this, you really don't want a true spiral anyway. You want an adaptive. I would suggest trying the Adaptive operation with extension.
