3D neck relief model
Hi all,
I am preparing a test toolpath for this guitar neck. The highest point is 2-1/4", (far left) and the program is dropping down the whole height to cut. Is there a way to only cut the thickness of the headstock of the model I created? I'll need to buy an extra long bullnose bit but I am sure there is a work around.

If you only want to cut just a small section use a vector,
If you only want to cut a section not to the full depth use the same technique, don't cut the whole model, make your vector narrower than your model, the sad thing is it will not go to the depth and will only cut (if you choose) inside of your vector.
Just for your info, there are bit extenders (I don't use them) that you could try so your "Z" axis doesn't crunch your material https://www.amazon.com/Inch-Shank-Router-Collet-Extension/dp/B08MQ46DYS?hvadid=79920869053545&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=undefined&hvlocphy=undefined&hvtargid=pla-4583520395755327.
