I found the "Two Tool Pocketing" which is great but is there a "Two Tool Finishing"? I would love doing a 3D finishing tool path with a large bit then use a smaller bit to get into areas that the large bit could not fit into without running the smaller bit over the complete design.
I have seen it mentioned that it is covered in one of the tutorials but have not found it yet and I have seen all the tutorials. Could someone point me in the right direction or explain the process to me?

Re: Two Tool Pocketing
Yes, its called "Rest Machining". I thought there was going to be a video that went over it. But I can't seem to find it.... 
Maybe one of the Vectric guys can point us in the right direction.

It's in video 7 that hasn't appeared yet.
Re: Two Tool Pocketing
An additional video showing how Rest Machining boundaries and toolpaths can be
calculated and this is at the bottom of the Aspire Tutorial page.
