Facing Pass SO3 and Fusion 360 -- bit not making contact with stock

Doing something stupid. I want to face off a piece of MDF to use as a supplementary waste board. Trying to use the Fusion 360 facing CAM operation and a Magnate 7/8" bottom clearing bit.

I created a solid in the shape of the MDF piece.

I added 1 mm to z-dimension of the stock in the Set Up panel, and set my work piece at the bottom of the stock.

I am setting the WCS origin at one top corner of the stock piece.

In Carbide Motion I zero the SO3 at the WCS, load the .nc file from F360 and run.

The SO3 drives to the entry x and y, but it does drive down far enough in z. It cuts air, 5 or 6 mm above the work piece.

I had to create the mill in Fusion 360 -- something I haven't done before. Could I have screwed it up there?
