in the parameter page where you select the pocket depth there is a tab labeled DEPTH CUTS.
check the box and set your maximum depth of cut in the first box,you can select your finish cut in the second box.
this will prevent your endmill from taking 100 percent plunge to the depth of your pocket.
cheers
