I did more work on bucket_mill.py. There is now a bit diameter border around STL files, the rough cuts now cut deep enough all the way around the edges of the STL files. The crashes on non-integer bit diameters have been addressed so that there should not be any for STL files and perhaps not for rasters, but I did not test that yet. As a result of the changes, you may need larger pieces of wood. Add 2 bit diameter width to the X and Y size.

A bucket milling (as opposed to bucket filling) algorithm for CNC milling rough cuts for cutting only a little bit at a time. It can also make final cuts.
