For that sort of job I do typically just type G-code in the MDI
window. You can queue commands.
So I will often start the spindle, jog to the start depth, then type
G1 X10 Y0
G1 X10 Y10
G1 X-10 Y10
G1 X-10 Y-10
G1 X10 Y-10

(to make squares and rectangles you end up just switching the sign of a number)
I see this as the equivalent of using the power feeds on a manual mill.

For more complicated jobs, have you looked at NativeCAM?
