Strategy for tenon?

Hi,

 

I need help. I've posted 2 pics and my .tap file as .txt. Not sure what would be of most use - please let me know. 

 

I am trying to router the tenons in the image. I am happy with the parallel toolpath except where it gouges right through the stock material between the tenons. I would prefer it to stepdown through the stock and remove it as well as produce the tenon. I have tried 2 and 3d adaptive and many other paths. I cannot seem to just get the tenons cut out, following the curve, and nothing else. Several toolpaths try to also do the engraving that I completed in another path successfully. I ran a contour path that left the stock material in place between the tenons. How do I get the spindle to raise up over the stock for this parallel? Or, some other path entirely...

 

Thanks!

Jim
