I’ve been doing signs with raised text,
there is choppy marks that require a lot of sanding
I need to know why please…
If you’re in Fusion360, try enabling “smoothing” in the toolpath menu.
Mr Makerjace,
I am in Vetric aspire, I might have to learn 360/ Does vetric have this ?
Are you actually using the Tapered Ball nose bit for ALL of the that clearing operation? Also, your Feed rate appears to be high according to the feeds/speeds on the website for that bit.

Finally, are you using conventional or climb cuts?

This looks like straight line approximation of curves to me. I have never used Vetric, but imagine they’d have something similar. Maybe try this out?
No idea if it’ll work, but maybe worth a shot. Definitely dial in your feeds and speeds also like suggested above. If you’re going to fast, dwells between movements might appear as gouges in the part.
I would use an endmill and do a “separate last pass” of .015”

How does one set up the separate last pass? Is that done with an offset path?
If you’re using vectric it’s a checkbox option in the profile toolpath, there are lots of YouTube videos on separate last pass too

My choppy letters are not on the profile they are on the raised letters inside the carve the profile is easily fixed with sanding
