[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 256146, member: 4850"] points to consider: 1. not all makers of CAM are set up to have the same milling strategy, or use the same template to create toolpaths. not all are created equal. this means modifying the process of one may not mean the same to another. 2. from your picture it would seem like the external finishing routine is doing one or more of the following: A: using too large of a tool, B: using too large of a step, C: skipping some steps, D: getting skipped due to glitching in the software, E: engaging too aggressively, F: miscalculating due to noise. 3. desktop machines are highly subsceptible to wobble in their tabletops. if the table upon which the roland sits is flimsy or not sturdy, or is occupied by an identical mill, the table vibration will translate into the machine and make life miserable for your zirconia. 4. diagnosing any of this is very hard to do with a single picture and no history. especially if you arent doing the milling yourself; why havent you worked with your mill operator to find out whats going on?
