    CNC pocket problem

    Hi guys , I am a new on business , basically I have problems with a pocket that is 5.1mm wide . I am using a 5mm diameter end mill
    I don’t know if I should use a smaller mill or the work is not well tight but does not seems to.
    Here is the picture of the finish work , the cad and a copy of the G code if someone can give me a hand can be helpful, thanks

    seems ur stepping motor loosing steps, this may be due to
    1- Interferense noise in cables near stepper motor
    2- check your controller card for loose wiring
    3-slow the IPM of z-axis and depth of cut

    Thanks Khalid, Finally I found the problem, was that some screws that fixed the Z-axis were not there , making a small shaking.
