The only reason I have been trying this route is the following video tutorial:
(It's always a good idea to link the position or give it at least in the text, otherwise it may waste many people's time)
What the guy is doing for exporting in the video is absolute rubbish. Best thing you can do is forget it completely. The simulation is an approximation and this improper export has been removed anyway.
I post-processed the job as CNC3.ngc, loaded it onto a 512MB flash drive, then plugged the drive into the router. I auto-homed, then moved the tool over where I wanted the origin point. I zeroed x and y, then set the tool-setting puck on the workbed. After zeroing the z-axis onto the workbed, I initiated the program. It ran through and finished in 10 seconds or less!!
Thank you to everyone who chimed in and helped me through this!

Here is the first round. I have since changed the cut pattern to a spiral and lowered the overlap. This should fix the funky edges, but I have not had a chance to try it out.
