As part of another thread on optimizing cutting time, I noticed that a pocket operation on that project was not clearing the entire pocket. I’ve deleted everything else and the problem still shows:

Try changing the step-over for the 1/16" bit to 0.030".
The circle is greater than 1/8", so the simulation is technically correct due to the single toolpath around the perimeter.
It doesn’t matter what the stepover is, it’s a pocket, it should be cleared. Changing the stepover is a good workaround, but hopefully this can get fixed.
Whatever error in logic leads to this situation could cause other problems, perhaps ones that aren’t noticed until it is too late top do anything about it.
Likely the same problem as here:
