    This is the blower nozzle on my machine, I use a Hailea 80L/min pond aerator pump and it shifts the chips away very well. When I have tested the new stiffened Z axis and dust extractor, I hope to make a post of it. My experience and the collective wisdom of the forum is that these little gantry machines really are not up to the job of cutting aluminium and giving consistent good results.

    Perhaps you should do a finishing pass to reduce the 'chewed ' look.
