How to follow the "resulting stock" of the previous operation

[mikefalkner]

My question is: "In Mastercam, how do you get a smaller bit to follow the resulting cutout stock of the previous operation?" I do not want to follow the previous toolpath, or the geometry that the previous tool followed. What I want to do is have the smaller bit follow the "resulting stock" of the previous operation.

What I want to do is cut out letters (like the attached file illustrates) out of plywood with a 1/4" compression bit (easy enough). Then use a smaller diameter sanding bit (1/8") to sand the edges of the resulting stock while the stock is still on the table.

Thanks for your help,
Mike
