    Machining outside stock perimiter

    Hello,
    I am trying to machine an object with raised cylinders. The clearance between the outside edge of the cylinder and the edge of the stock is less than the width of my endmill bit. So it will not mill that area and leaves me with something not a cylinder.
    How can I fix this?
    I am trying to mill it using a pocket operation, also tried setting contour technology data to 'start from: outside' but I get the same results.
    Here is a screenshot of the simulated cutting paths.
    I appreciate any help
