Curious what my issue is here. Using a project toolpath, and when cutting the oval you can see it's pecking in many areas rather than just running a smooth oval. Is this a factor of the SVG file it's using not being smooth, or something else?
Thanks!
If I had to guess, i would suspect it is because of these overlapping lines in the oval:
Perhaps try to modify your sketch by trimming the overlapping sections or delete the oval part of the sketch and draw a new oval.

Pretty nasty sketch you're trying to use! I guess a conversion from a picture, can you share the picture you used to create the sketch. Also what software did you use to convert to a sketch?

Is the attached file any help? I added a sketch with a smoother conversion.

I used a different program to convert the image on the page you linked. For the file attached before I used an addin in Rhino3d to create a DXF.
I've attached a SVG file to this post I did using inkscape that looks pretty good as well. Here's a link to a tutorial on doing this in inkscape.

@longshotsystems If you work with imported SVGs you might find this video useful for scaling to the correct size.

DXF probably has a higher accuracy but it will depend on the quality of the conversion. All really depends on what program creates the DXF\SVG.

I used Adobe Illustrator and Image Trace. It was a large 2600px file, so figured it would have done better, but I guess I should inspect it closer in the future. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ford_1927-1957_Logo.svghttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
This might be the problem. Using an image that's too big then shrinking after conversion might be picking up too much detail. I only used the 800x446 image
