scallop
In an end milling operation, a small cusp of material, called a scallop, sometimes remains between adjacent cuts. Scallops along vertical walls can be removed through a profiling operation. Scallops on horizontal surfaces result from using a ball end mill and can be minimized by using a smaller step-over distance relative to the tool diameter.
