The easiest is probably just to copy the reaming curves and move them down 1mm (Copy, paste, move). Then use the copied curves for the reaming op. VM doesn't have fantastic tools for working with contours (curves) at different depths than where they are drawn, the only other solution I have found is to get out your calculator. --ch
