Aluminum?
You genreated G code with two tools, which was used to mill the part?
It looked like the cuts were not ramped in. Did the tool have the capablity to make a ramp cut (changing Z while X or/or Y changes)?
Great music.
Thanks for the effort to show us your work.
Hi Petebo,
No it is heavy plastic (PVC). I used a 2 flutes end mill carbide with center cut. So I do not need ramp down but I have to slow down the Z feerate.
Thanks for your comments.
If you want to see aluminium milling see this video:

The CNC is stiff enough to support up to 22 ipm of feerate with 1/4' end mill diameter and 0.02" deep.
