    How did you program the path?
    what is your cutter diameter?
    did you compensate diameter?
    are you using G41 or G42?
    seems like diameter compensation error.

    I know that this is probably way too late, but your "Y" axis Parameters in your machine may be off. If you have a manual for the machine, look into recalibrating the axis.
