Would you like to know how to create a pocket but how can I obtain this machining on a tangential profile?
I have tried in many ways but I have not succeeded.
Can anyone kindly help me?
Thank you
How to carry out this process pocket?
Your question is a bit confusing. Your setup on the opposite side is coming from a raw material blank but your screen captures indicate you are just trying to lower an existing machined section. I chose to use the same material blank from the previous operation in the setup of this pocket. If this is wrong, let us know. Model is attached.

I don't know how to thank you, you understand perfectly well what I need.
I followed your video step by step but I can't do it.
I'll put the file I'm working on for you so you can try for yourself.
If you can do it, can you save the file and share it with the two processes that interest me?
I would be grateful to you.
The second video shows the two jobs that I wish I could do, but unfortunately I can't.
Thank you very much jhackney1972

The thing I think you are missing is the setting of the Bottom Height. You want to switch from Selected Contours to Selection and pick the surface you want the pocket to finish on. As I mentioned in the Screencast, I will leave all the speeds, number of passes, ramp settings etc. up to you. Model is attached.

I'm finally starting to understand something.
I would like to work on pocket8 in several passes.
It's possible?
2 mm deep at a time and not in a single pass.
I have tried to add in more passes but it generates an error.
Could you show me how to do and add the file you saved?
I don't know how to thank you for your kindness.
Thanks thanks thanks
Then I ask you for one last pleasure.
In the attached photo 1:
How can I do that single edge contouring using a 6mm Ball Nose Bur?
Could you kindly show me this work as well.
I will always be grateful to you for your kindness.
Accepted solution
I have created the multiple level stepdown for the 2D Pocket, the model is attached. You asked for the radius edge, there is where the problem, at least for me, comes up. Before you can radius the corner you have to machine the outside edge, that is no issue, but before that is done I would think you need to finish the faces of the guitar top which is not flat. I do not know how to do this operation. I also believe you cannot use a ball end mill to create the radius around the part, you have to use a radius cutter.
So I have reached the end of my ability to help you. I would start a new thread in the Manufacture Forum for help on finishing the faces and radius edges.
