Sorry if any information I have been presented is redundant. Continuing my research on this topic I discovered the following paper:

Paper #3
A Sweep-Line Algorithm and Its Application to Spiral Pocketing

I found it interesting in the fact that it bridges the theoretical realm of most papers with pseudo-code for an implementation.

I'm fascinated with this topic also, although most of the math is well beyond my skills. Cutter path generation for 2.5D milling by combining multiple different cutter path patterns http://www.glue.umd.edu/~skgupta/Publication/IJPR04_Yao.pdf Kudos, Keep up the great work on this project!

I have never thought of Milling and Mowing as the same. Now that you point it out, it makes sense. Now I want a CNC Lawn Mower. Ivan Irons I like it.
