Looking at the simulations, changing the stepover seems to have aided a lot.  The furthest down I had gone before was 0.7 mm, the 0.25 seems to make a significant difference.  I'll know for sure when I cut it out.  However, the machining time goes way up... on the longest path the time went up to 8 hours when adding perpendicular passes.  Without, its more manageable.

 

I'll also look into getting a 1/2" ball endmill.

 

Thanks for the help!
