When I mill parts in Newfangled wizards they machine beautifully.
When I mill using my CAM package (Madcam) my 2d cuts are slightly rough.
I just had a thought. .. I'm using backlash compensation. .. is that not showing in my CAM post?

I am using ethernet smooth stepper

CAM is not in any way involved in backlash compensation. That is handled entirely by Mach3.

Thanks

This is most likely a machining strategy issue. Are you using a roughing cut/finishing cut? Are you using the correct feeds/speeds? Are you using the correct type of bit? Are you using a material that can be easily machined?

^^ yes all of the above. I think madcam uses lines instead of arcs. It cuts awesome in the newfangled wizard... have to check my settings in Rhino and Madcam
