60K to 150K lines of G-code? That is a *lot* of detail.

Imagine cutting out 20-50 hemispheres from .200 to .350 with a .0625 ball
end mill, and then all the supplemental stuff. Pins, ports, etc etc...
(over simplification, but you get the idea, and yes I know a bigger cutter
is faster LOL).

Actually a lot of my detail work takes less code now that I am learning to
do real 3D CAD to get what I want amazingly enough.
