How to "enter" in the raw stock from the side of it?

[Giulio Buccini]

Hello folks,

I would like to cut some slots on the side of a raw stock of Delrin material to test the quality of some end-mills.

I quickly faced one problem: I was not able to make mill-bit "entering" into the stock from the side. I could achieve that???
I looked at the good video from sliptonic, but setting the start point just provides an initial point for the first movement, not for all layers to be milled down.

I other words, I would like to obtain a movement as depicted in the attached image (for all of the layers).

Any clue?

P.S.
I checked the generated gcode. The mill-bit is not entering from the side of the stock even by setting the start point in the operation properties.

Beat me to it!

It would be nice if there was a 'linear' style that omitted the arcs.
