Good afternoon. I need some help with processing a toolpath I have been unable to figure out. I have a custom cnc bit that I want to run on a path that starts outside of the material's edge and exists the same way the same distance down from the board surface. Reason is, the bit is flared at the bottom and entry from the top would create a large hole. I'm just not sure what 2D path to use or if the toolpath line should be on an offset plane where the bottom of the bit would be cutting. I attached an image of the toolpath to show an example path however the path would be below the surface.
Any direction/thoughts would be great and I hope this explanation is sufficient.
Thank you in advance!
