A lot of unknown's.......what machine? What is the tolerance/ surface finish requirements? Possibly it could be roughed and then finished with a sink edm (assuming the vibration on the mill is too much).
Hopefully this isn't a quoted job!!!!!!!
Not 100% sure of what you are trying to do but you could mirror it and the plane you want to mirror it from. You could use Dynamic transform. You could use a Toolpath Transform...
Again I am not sure what you are try to do. Possibly link a file or a photo of what you are trying to do.
On top of what the others have advised. Look at local support for servicing the machine (do they have technicians within reasonable traveling distance). The door height and width into your building, will the machine fit in without removing anything? Adding a pneumatic spindle is a great way of increasing RPM for small cutters.
Is the control on your machine set to move the axis in the shortest direction?
Posting a Zip to go file will make it easier to look at everything in your setup.
Vericut gives a warning and I alter it. See the attached photo (old photos I kept for reference). I found switching this number from 0.005" to 0.01" makes the warning disappear in Vericut. Also setting the minimum arc length to a 3 digit number like 0.005"
The other option is to linearize all of your arcs.
