Strategy for round floors with an Endmill

Hi guys!
I'm trying to finish this rounded floor with a sharp Endmill.
I know the surface won't be a 100% correct, i doesn't matter though. Maybe with a step over it would be close to a correct.
I'm just struggling to figure out a good Strategy for that. What kind of toolpath would you use for that? I don't wanna use a Ballmill because it just takes very long. I was trying with Wrapped 2d Contour. Couldn't make it work though.
Something like the swarf toolpath just for floors i'm looking for..

Hope you guys can point me in the right direction!
Thanks!

Hi

 

You cant get a result with Advanced swarf but its seems to work better on some parts of the model than others

It seems the model isn't actually a true radius so that's possibly where the issues are happening
