I thought this video comparing toolpath strategies was interesting. Adaptive isn't always fastest.

Thanks for sharing the video. One thing is for sure, the cutters used in the non adaptive cutting methods will be worn out after fewer slots. So it comes down to speed v cutter life.

Slotting may be one of the few cases where it is slower.
