2D Countour Faceting on Oval Part

I'm trying to cut the parts below on my HAAS VF2SS.  I'm getting facets in all of the curves while using the 2D Contour tool path.  I have tried numerous different tolerance and smoothing settings with the same faceting.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.

The issue is that a true oval cannot be described as a few arcs, so the total tolerance must allow for it. Tightening the Tolerance to .0002" and setting Smoothing to .0015" I get a toolpath of only 852 bytes made entirely of arcs (right click on the toolpath size and select View Toolpath to see this window):

Thanks.  I'll run that in the machine tomorrow and see how it turns out.
