Not sure that you'd want to reinvent that wheel. It is not a trivial task.
There is plenty of costware out there for this, from small hundreds to several thousands. MasterCAM is great, but check the price first.
If you use SolidWorks or Inventor, get a copy of HSMExpress (it is free), that will do the job very well. It does have some minor drawbacks, but for the price...
Personally I recommend anything from Vectric, particularly Cut2D. Fast, simple and powerful. And $150.
