Mill Window stock clearance

I need some help with a 'Mill Window' roughing sequence. The tool is coming down tangent to the 'Stock' which is not safe. I would like the tool to plunge in the space around the material. Does anyone know how to set a boundary or an offset for that?

Thanks!

yes mill volumes are your only viable option for this and add approach surfaces to control the entry of your tool
