The Y direction cut cannot be easily "scotch brited" away and resembles the "coining" that Mr. Flat is complaining about. Approximately .0001" depth marks.
Why don't these cuts produce identical results?
Because the Y change in direction puts and impulse into the machine in the same direction that the head 'nods'; the X change in direction is at ninety degrees and does not excite the resonant 'nodding' as efficiently.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
