Mach 3 CNC lathe turning an Egg Shape In 6061 Aluminum

Turning an egg shape in some 6061 Aluminum using a Mach3 controlled lathe.  The lathe is a converted Grizzly G4003 Lathe powered by Gecko Drives.  I am Using a Groove/Turn Tool.  The cutting is being done at a speed of 1000RPM, .035" D.O.C and at 5 IPM

Added Oct 6th 2012.  Thanks to all for the comments...both good and bad.  Since there seems to be quite a bit of confusion about the tool I am using I wanted to link to a couple videos that show people way smarter that me using a groove/turn used in a pretty similar way.
ISCAR Groove Turn -Actual Machining   This is a video from Iscar.

Here is another but you need to skip to about 2:45 to see the groove turn tool in action.  Thanks again for all of the interest!  TurnLine.mp4
