    Default Bad tapered ballnose finnishing

    Hi !
    Can anybody explain me, please, why always my 3d reliefs looks like fluffy ONLY in the left side of model? See photo.
    I used tapered ballnose, 1 mm .
    I tried to change in Artcam raster angle many times but same (traces, fluffy, trails) effect, i also change wood piece pozition vertical and horizontal, a lot of combinations of feeds and speeds.... same bullcake
    What to do? It is possible that my spindle is not perfectly perpendicular to the table?
    Thank you !

    This occurs when the ballnose gets the grain against the grain. I think we all do.The solution, sand.
    Sorry for the bad translation, with an automatic translator.

    Gracias! Thank you! But why not happened in both sides? Always in left side and never right side. For example, if i carve a hemisphere, only left side, like a little moon it occurs fluffy.

    Different wood species react differently to rotary cutting. What are you using? It's common to get that "fur" on one side of your cuts. Have you tried all-climb, or all-conventional instead of a meandering cut? Sharper tools do this less.

    Use a harder wood and cut along the grain.
