How to force 2D contour to remove rest of the pocket

[kris.chlapek]

Hi Guys

Can anyone suggest how to remove the remaining part in the pocket using 2D contour?

I have 8mm cutter and i don`t really want to do the tool change just to acomplish that in a single operation

Couple of ways to do it:

1) Use the Pocket toolpath, selecting the bottom face. This should allow it to recognize the bottom of the pocket and thru-bore, creating an appropriate toolpath.

2) 2D Contour, turn on Multiple Passes, setting an appropriate size and quantity of step overs.
