How to machine out an area bigger than the sketch

Hi,

 

I am trying to setup a toolpath that would cutout a slightly different profile to the pocket shape to ensure cleanup. Image below of current toolpath. Red boarder is what I would like. Any ideas?

I will want to do the same thing here:

For the "A", turning on Stock Contours (and not selecting anything) does nudge the tool a bit further out. For the other segment, I'd use a sketch to get exactly what you're looking for
