Best strategy to machine small area

I am still having trouble machining this small area in the pic.

What strategy would you choose?

3D pocket  clearing , 3D Adaptive or something else?

 

It is 5.5 mm wide with 1.5mm radius at the bottom. 

4.5 mm is the bottom, from the top edge of the part.

 

Thanks for the help.

Will you have cleared out the hole first?

 

3D Pocket and/or 3D contour might be a good option here

Are you able to share the file? Perhaps I can add a couple of examples for you to try

Hello,

 

Thanks for sharing the part! I have attached a program which shows how you might approach a finishing path with the 3D contour toolpath. For this, you will want to look at the boundary and patch that has been created

George,

    I just had a chance to open it. So it looks like you changed the way I drew the one pocket???

Looked like it had a new plane for construction in it.

 

I got an error on the 2D pocket.

 

What are your thoughts.

Thanks for the help.
