Tooling marks Buddy Prs
I know that there are other threads on here regarding tooling marks but i could not find any that i thought related to my problem.
I have started getting tooling marks while doing 3-d finishing. I cut against the grain but dont think that is a problem and that is generally in the Y direction. I use 8-10% step over and 3 inch per second feed and plunge. My plaques are typically 18 inches tall and the marks are spuratic when and where they are seen but they tend to run the full height of the plaque. My 3-d cuttings are not as smooth as normal. These marks are easily sanded if you can get to them. My last carving, when i was about 2/3 way though with it, i cranked up the rpms and the markings were still there but not as noticeable.
All pinions were replaced recently. The Y motor had gone bad and had to be replaced. All pinions feel tight and they were recently cleaned.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
