Swarf milling panel edges, low success

I am currently working on some fiberglass panels that require trimming. I would like to use swarf milling more, but find it to be successful only about 10% of the time. Most times I get an error that says cut lines are crossed or the tool axis is inverted. When I try to flip the axis, the cutter path fails.

I attempted to synchronize lines, but was wholly unsuccessful at this as well. I read the help files on the subject only to find the descriptions uninformative about the use of this tool.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to make swarf a more successful tool?

Thanks
Steve
