Lead in and outs?

Here is an odd request. I’m wondering if you can create a lead in and lead out for a tool path?

Say I have drawer fronts cut out of plywood and all I want to do is cut out a notch on the top for a handle.

How would you go about make it cut just the notch area?

Thanks for the help :)!

If I understand correctly, this would require two geometries and two toolpaths:

Dupe that in place, then go into Node Edit mode:

So you would need to do a complete contour tool path? Can you do just a cut out of the notch?

Of course. I use open boudaries & contour toolpath quite a bit. Something like this?
