Awesome! I think that may work. Still have to do some deleting of the mesh lines either the X or Y axis and the angled ones between, but that still may be faster than the other method I was thinking.
I was planning to draw a grid for reference, then draw vertical lines (blue axis) for the thickness of my piece for that specific area of my part at each grid intersection, then connect the tops of my vertical lines using beziers across the red axis direction only to build my machine paths back and forth to cut out the contoured surface using a 1/4" bit.
