'got problems with insufficient copper removal.' problem.
In PCB-Gcode you nominate the size of the tool tip, my preferred tools are 0.175mm in diameter and you specify a stepover and a target isolation. I use a stepover of 0.1mm
and a target isolation of 1mm. This means that the Gcode goes around about eight passes to get 1mm clear of copper.
I'v been using this method for eight-nine years and daily for the last three years, many hundreds of boards.
I would imagine CopperCAM must be similar.
