What is the cause of this ?

Funny you should say that.
A few months ago I did just that.
Spent an hour on my hands and knees with tweezers picking up and sorting inlays.
As I recall it was beer related ... :eek:

Eddie, the big advantage is that the CNC can be doing one thing while you are doing another. Almost like another hired hand in the shop.
Course you do need to invest time in learning how to tell it what you want it to do and setting it up to do that.

I find mine most useful finial tapering shafts and cutting many inlay pieces at once.
I always cut more than I need and keep them in a plastic box for the next time I need that inlay.

Pfft, what could be more fun than placing a tape on the collar so you can set your manual tapering machine to hit it then ease down to a thou at a time?
While the router is buzzing at 28K and four face is near the blade.
A lot more artful than running toolpaths on Mastercam.

I was there. It was a nightmare.
 
I've determined that there might be some confusion regarding the statements I've made in this thread and I now believe I know why.

Willee's pic shows 'threading' that I determined to be made by having the router mounted in the horizontal position. This is not uncommon to me as this is how mine is mounted. Everything I've said applies to having the router mounted in this manner. It's certainly acceptable to have the router mounted vertically and I know that a lot of you do but again, everything I stated as to the cause and remedy applies to having the router mounted horizontally.

I made this determination of router position based on the fact that the 'minor' diameter in the pic appears to be flat. This would be next to impossible with the router mounted vertically.

Sorry for the confusion and I didn't try to mis-lead anyone or give bad info. I gave my reply based on what I observed.
 
Ultimately it comes down to be caused by tool push off. Too deep of a cut too fast dull tool could be all of them or none could be too much end pressure on the shaft. EDIT per joey
