Hi Brad,
Welcome to the forum and good fortune with your engraving business to come.
The squiggly lines are usually described as 'crop circles' and are related to how arcs have been created in your CAD / CAM (BobCad).
Within Mach3 if you go into Config ; General Config then change the IJ mode that should resolve the problem.
In future your generated Gcode should really include (at the start of the code) a G90.1 (if you arcs are created in Absolute mode) or a G91.1 (if your arcs are created in Incremental mode). The Mach manual describes this in more detail when you get the time
