Gents,

I have tested aluminium machining. It is a first time that I have machined/cut aluminium and I'm not very happy with result.

Pocketing toolpath on part looks really good - shiny finish. But on Profile path - looks like crocodile just cut with his teeth...

Could someone point out where is the issue here and how to get same surface finish as per pocketing toolpath ?
Thank You
