Toolpath that machines the fixture in the simulation only at the end

The simulation is clean for twenty minutes and then the holder clips the vise jaw on the retract of the last pocket. We did not see it because the simulator was on 'fast.' The real machine would have hit it.

Turn the holder and the fixture on in the simulation and run the retracts at a speed where you can see them. A fast simulation is a movie. Collisions live in the transitions, the tool changes, and the rapids home.

Add a clearance plane that is actually above the jaw for that work offset, and a retract that goes there before any X move. A pocket-to-pocket move at depth is the clip.

If the jaw is taller than the model, fix the model. A simulation of the wrong jaw is a clean video of a crash.
