Faceted surface when machining surface

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to machine this part using rough surface parallel tool path, and while it seems smooth during simulation, I'm ending up with facets, once the part is machined. I'm choosing 0.001 cutting tolerance with 0.002 step-over, tried various adjustments with same results. Also, my program ends up being way too long. I'm using 1/4" ball end mill, with a cutting direction in Y. Is there a way, to change my tool-path, to output arcs, when posting, so reduce size of file? Is this the right tool-path to use? Thanks for any help or tip I can get.

You do not have any tool paths on your file.
