more or less stepover?

Here is a photo of something that I had bobcad make a code for. It has lines cut into it that aren't supposed to be there. I'm using a flat end mill. Should I use more or less stepover distance. The bit is 3/16.

Re: WHY DOES THIS PROGRAM NOT WORK?

SO, GENERALLY, I SHOULD MANUALLY JOG THE MACHINE TO PART ZERO AND DEFINE THAT LOCATION AS THE OFFSET WITH EACH NEW MILLING JOB THAT IS GOING TO BE DONE. I.E. WITH EACH NEW BILLET THAT IS GOING TO BE PLACED ON THE MACHINE.

i MADE THIS CNC CODE IN MILL CAM. WHEN I RUN IT IN VRMILL 2 WITH A MICROMILL 200NS, IT GETS TO THE LINE WHERE IT SAYS Z.08 (ABOUT 12 LINES DOWN) THERE IS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS IT MOOVE EXCEEDS LIMITS. WHAT IS WRONG?

Re: red lights on curcuitboard

so, i uninstalled, then reinstalled vrmill 2. it dosen't say that machine can't be found or isn't turned on. it now says emergency stop is on. also, if i try to press any axis in the window, it says driver not installed. is this getting better?

Re: red lights on curcuitboard

I have it set for a micromill 2000NS. That is what is on the side of the box. In the "communication" section it is set at COM port 3 and control type 0. Is there more settings?
