What is a good way to toolpath a cleanup pass when profiling?
For example imagine circle cut out of 0.75 inch thick MDF or plywood. I would normally select profiling and set the cutter to climb cut outside the line. I usually set a ramp of 10% which works ok. I usually select around a 0.15 depth cut for each pass. I usually do not leave a skin because I attach most of my work to the spoilboard with screw holes.
My question is related to the problem of having a cut surface with the steps showing and I sometimes would like to have a full depth pass that is perhaps 0.01 inch offset inside to clean that up.
Is there a way to do this without creating an offset line and using it for a full depth profiling pass?

Thanks

Yes.
First path - whatever you use - set Stock to Leave to 0.01.
Second finishing profile path set Stock to Leave to 0.00.

Thanks! And i assume i set step down for the full amount on the second profile path. I will do this.
