    The lines on the curves are an artifact of the step over of the tool
    cutter and the controlling software. In ArtCAM, this can be
    controlled by increasing the pixel count in relationship to the size
    of the piece. I just had my mill upgraded by Modelmaster, there is
    considerably less debris left on the part, and overall a better
    surface to the model. I am not familiar with other systems, but
    Daniel Grandi of Race Car Jewelry commented to me on the high quality
    of my models in comparison to other CAD-CAM models that he has dealt
    with. The development efforts of  both Delcam and Modelmaster speak
    for themselves. I really would not want to write and test the G code
    files that ArtCAM turns out flawlessly in a matter of seconds. Some
    of the files are several megabytes in size.
