    You're g-code tells Mach3 what to do. You need to edit your g-code to cut outside the lines. What are you using for CAM?

    Sorry, I worded that wrong.
    You need to create your g-code to cut outside the lines.
    Again, what are you using to create your g-code?

    If y our working with .dxf files, you can open them in a CAD program, and offset the lines by the tool radius, and use the offset lines to create you g-code.
