No, I have to have the edges of these features accurate to a
few thousandths of an inch, they accommodate various parts
that are attached to PC boards, and are firmly located by
the board. So, I can't do any free-form stuff. When I do
it using my programs and don't screw up any of the numbers,
things fit together with amazing accuracy.

And, these programs have been fine tuned to make efficient
toolpaths in G-code.
