This is my loaded stock:

I make a profile path from the following selected curves:

This is my result:

I just want to profile the outside of this part. Really i don't need to cut "around it," just the little indentations on the sides, since my stock is already the proper OD.
I have tried alot of settings but I cannot get the output to stay on the OUTSIDE of the part. It does a circular pattern and takes off extra material...
What may I be doing wrong? Might I have to use cylindrical stock instead of stock from selection?
