QC Test has uneven lines/chatter

1

Hello-
New here and wanted to know what other folks little QC test plaque they got with their machine looks like. I dont have the spindle (backordered still) but I set up my machine and noticed wobble with the Y1 rail ball screw. I reach out to support and was told it was in spec. Looking at the “ELITE” test carve I was sent with the machine some of the letters dont have straight boarders and there is what looks like chatter around some of the corners of the carve.

Should I be concerned about the test carve or just ignore it? I dont want to wait for my spindle to come in to find out I have a machine issue I could be resolving now.

Trying to figure out if I can upload photos.

Mine has the exact same marks on it, in the same places.
My machine runs fine.

The test file is used with an untrammeled machine and a bit that’s far beyond its life with suboptimal feeds and speeds :slight_smile:

Its only purpose is “does the machine move the way it is supposed to?” Type test. As fast as possible as we crank out machines.
