Also, the multiple passes are not a design flaw. Imagine (or preview the cut) where you run the v-bit last... Would you want those delicate clearing bits cutting full-depth? Very good points.

Edit the toolpath; highlight the tool that is used in the clear 4 part of the toolpath; click edit; change the pass depth to your proje...

What bits are you using? I don't see the behaviour you're describing when using multiple clearance tools. You can use the Solid rather than Wireframe preview to see the material each bit removes. If you could attach the actual file that would make it a lot easier to see what's going on. I've attach...
