Sorry for not getting back on this quicker. I have a couple of ideas using pocket, the problem is the stock is wider than the part so to get a similar raster cut to what you were trying you need to machine the stock down to the outside of the part. The other option is just to pocket the part.

Here's the part machining the outside first.

And here with a pocket.

I've attached the file with both versions.
