If you are making a tapered cutter to machine the hole,you can just drill it and there is no need for a surface.You could rough out the hole pre drilling with a surface rough pocket toolpath of your surface.Try true spiral this works realy weel on round pockets.

After roughing it out, create a new tool that represents the shape angle, etc... then contour the bottom chain.
