On top of what the others have advised. Look at local support for servicing the machine (do they have technicians within reasonable traveling distance).

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.
It might be a good idea to have a thread on the Industrial Forum pinned to the top on Transform Toolpath.
Some toolpaths (axis substitution) don't work with Rotate so you need to use Translate - Coordinate - Delta
