Ok
Then associate the inner geometry with the toolpath:

“Use current selection”
Ok

Because the geometry has sharp corners, one can get more detail using an…
It is easily done by adding surrounding geometry:
and creating an Advanced V carving toolpath which cuts that surrounding geometry and the original geometry (with the pocket-clearing option if need be if you have a BitSetter):
(once some extraneous geometry has been removed — hang on for a new post)
