Hi all having trouble to make decent finish on my cnc converted lathe
Getting random strings (check photo)
So min diameter 10mm
Max diameter 29
Spindle rpm 1800
Feed 0.15mm per revolution
Insert 55 degrease 0.4 mm tip
Any suggestions where i need to look to make better finishes

What depth of cut are you at? Your finish looks like that of a loose machine. Best way to get better results from a loose machine is to drive it harder. A heavier cut will push all the slop in the machine against the stops and will eliminate a lot of your finish problems. That finish looks like the machine dancing around within it's slop envelope under too light of a cut.
Basic cold rolled steel is not great for fine finishing either.

Check your backlash that tool is jumping possibly due to x and z axis not moving correctly or as previous poster said use at least 1mm finish cut to push the job
Yes more depth of cut
