Is there a simple way to make Lathe Finish contour toolpath so that the tool nose would tangent to the red line at the end? I mean simpler than drawing additional geometry or using "Extend / shorten end of contour" with a lot of trial and error.

I tend to put fillets / edge breaks at all intersections so, unfortunately, you would have to add geometry.

I would add a rad just a couple of thou bigger than your tool nose rad between the red and blue lines then

add that fillet to my contour.
