The photo above doesn't reflect that since I'm just working on the offset part now. This new offset method would eventually eliminate the parallel roughing completely.

Your new offset roughing looks excellent, but seems to be cleaning at a single Z level. The conformal roughing looks to be more akin to parallel finishing. Are these two strategies going to form a larger roughing concept--efficient cleaning at defined Z steps and then knocking off the jaggies? Or am I seeing it wrong? Inquiring minds need to know (or at least WANT to...) Randy Robert, how does this dovetail with your conformal roughing?
