Just a thought...
I have done this by starting the cut above the pocket/slot.  Then, move down in Z.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Cutter comp

How can I get SmartCam 11.5 Production Milling to output code with cutter comp to initiate before the first move in Z before starting a profile.  For example; entering a pocket which is not much bigger than the diameter of the end mill. 
(Using a Haas VF-0 vertical machining center) Can I do this in Machine define, or is there an edit in the .tmp file I can make?
