    <description>&lt;P&gt;Looking at the simulations, changing the stepover seems to have aided a lot. &amp;nbsp;The furthest down I had gone before was 0.7 mm, the 0.25 seems to make a significant difference. &amp;nbsp;I'll know for sure when I cut it out. &amp;nbsp;However, the machining time goes way up... on the longest path the time went up to 8 hours when adding perpendicular passes. &amp;nbsp;Without, its more manageable.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll also look into getting a 1/2" ball endmill.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the help!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've been having a problem cutting my rounded edges correctly. &amp;nbsp;I'm working on a guitar model and when I cut the pieces out there's always a lip round the edge where it should be flush. &amp;nbsp;This has happened on the backs of necks as well as bodies. &amp;nbsp;Here is the process I use:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. &amp;nbsp;3D Adaptive Clearing&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I usually leave the default settings here. &amp;nbsp;1/2" flat endmill.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. &amp;nbsp;3D Parallel&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1/4" ball end mill, stepover of 1.5 mm, perpendicular passes added. &amp;nbsp;I usually use Silhouette and tool center on boundary, otherwise the endmill goes all the way to the bottom of the model and tries to move with a significant portion of the non-fluted shaft in the wood.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. &amp;nbsp;2D Contour&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Selected contour is the outline of the piece I am cutting. &amp;nbsp;1/2" flat endmill. &amp;nbsp;Multiple depths with maximum roughing stepdown at 6 mm. &amp;nbsp;Everything else is left at the defaults.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried different settings on the 3D Parallel and 2D Contour toolpaths all to no avail. &amp;nbsp;Maybe there's a simple solution I've missed, or I need to reorder the toolpaths? &amp;nbsp;Maybe even use different toolpaths? &amp;nbsp;I've noticed that the lip is present on the simulations as well. &amp;nbsp;Any advice would be appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've included pictures of the body model, CAM simulation, and result from the CNC router.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just spit-balling here for some suggestions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Try using a smaller stepover on your parallel pass.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Try using a larger ball mill (perhaps 1/2") as well as a smaller stepover.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) Try using a different toolpath -- I've had really good finishes with the scallop pass on aluminum.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Everything said, I'm about 99% your issue is the the 1.5mm stepover. That's quite a large leap, approximately 0.060". I do parallel finishing passes of 0.005-0.010" on aluminum plastic injection molds. I would suggest first trying to change your stepover somewhere between 0.250-0.350mm and perhaps even work it down further from there.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well that's good news. It's entirely up to you as far as time goes--it's your job and your program. You can bump up the feeds/speeds or you can increase the stepover slightly to get a "close enough" finish and then, I'm assuming, do some sanding. You'll just have to find that happy medium between machining and hand finishing. Glad I could help.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
