We have Alphacam Essentials and I need to program a keyhole. The bit will plunge down then move 10mm sloping down 2.1 mm. Then continue moving another 10mm and return to the plunge site at that depth then retract. How do I draw it?

Search on keyhole in vcarve. Since the software can’t handle the Z slope I would manually change the g-code. Lower Z at top of the U shape.
Test in air to make sure it works.
