Thread: edge finish - ripples and ridges

Hi everyone,
got some parts cut by a friend of a friend, as it's a favor I don't want to start moaning, but I've noticed a few strange things on the edge finish (cut is done in 15mm ali):
1. ripples - is this simply a cut done too fast?
2. seems like the cut was done it two steps, really deep (around 12mm) and finishing cut to go all the way through (the remaining 3mm).
3. the beginning of the cut seems like 'single', but a few mm later transitions to a two step cut. Am I correct to think that it was started as a single, full depth cut, but due to this being too much for the machine, it was split and done in to cuts instead?
The ripples I can live with, it's only really on a single element, but the two-step cut causes problems as it creates a ridge in the lower part of the edge, which means that instead of nice flat edge surface, I end up with something a bit wonky.
Cheers for any pointers or additional info.
Regards,
dsc.
