My rectangular pocket script checks tool diameter and the narrow pocket width to select either a helical or ramp entry and creates a slot with equal width between the finish and slot edges. The slot type entry uses arc nibbles. The slot is then expanded to the rough edges except for the corners. Each corner is then arc nibbled to the rough edges. The bottom face is finish cut, then the pocket perimeter.
