Roughing depth

Does anyone else have a problem with the Roughing toolpath not machining all of the way to the bottom of pockets? I have messed with the min and max step depths and step depth adjust. It only wants to machine halfway down the pocket.

I'm using Creo 2.0 M100.

Thanks in advance.

The pocket depth is .109" and my flute length is .570" and stickout is .600" so that is fine. I have my min. step depth set at .01" and my max step depth at .075". Depending on what I set my max step depth to is what the level is that the one slice is created at. All I want is for it to take two equal depths of cut.

So after trying a bunch of different things I got it to work. I had to set my max step depth to the step depth that I want. I also had to set step depth adjust to no. I would imagine that this is a bug.
