    Trouble Facing Aluminium

    Hey,

    I'm trying to face a Piece of Aluminum about an inch thick and around 6" x 6". I need to get a beautiful finish on this thing but what I'm getting you can see in the pictures below. I'm Running a 2" Indexable Carbide Shell mill and using flood coolant. i'm Running at 4000 RPM and 32 ipm. I'm sure there's an easy fix for this but i can't wrap my head around it for some reason.
