Is this type of operation possible? Trying to machine a small slant/bank

I was just wondering if something like this is possible.

 

I have this model and the front of it has a slope/bank that tapers down. I have successfully applied a 3D contour that is bound to just the bank, although because the tool is machining straight down, the bank is choppy and almost looks like a stairset.

 

Is there a way to use tool orientation to angle the tool so it can sweep across the bank and cut with the tip of the tool?

( we have a 5 axis machine, although we have not done much past 3 axis operations to date )

 

Thanks for your time!

Mike
