Re: Which curve correction to use

Mark, Angie is correct and with a 'well tuned' router there should be no noticeable difference when running machines with bezier or arc based toolpaths. I would recommend watching the video tutorial on the web site that tries to explain Arc fitting for toolpaths. Tutorial 13 - Arc Fitting See > http...

Re: Overcut run amuck?

Hi Brandon, The Cut3D file setup and toolpaths look OK. The Overcut distance is set to 0.175" - this could be less (0.130") as you are using a 0.250" dia ball nose cutter.
