It is hard for me to exactly follow what has happened from the photos, but I think you are saying these poor surfaces are not wear, but are the factory saving time on the scraping with rough cuts, and cutting zones of clearance, rather than taking the time to scrap in in a larger area ? Or are you saying the workmanship is just unskilled?
Either way this is most concerning . Have you had any response or interest on this from Tormach? Can you tell us the model number and year on that machine? Cliff
