Clearance toolpath/vcarve fuzzy

[ChrisPen2020]

Im cutting a big project and used a 1/4 endmill to clear out large areas, then vcarving the rest with a 90degree vbit. The problem i'm having is that there is fuzz between the two cuts. I tried attaching file said it was to big

It's pretty hard to get a seamless transition between two bits like that as they cut in very different ways and have totally different geometry. Sometimes good old sanding is required.

Make sure your z-zero setting method is 100% accurate and you've got the right feed rate and sharp tools.

I tried attaching file

If the file is too large you can place it on a site like drive.google.com, or dropbox.com, make the file shareable, and then share the link to the file here.

As Adrian has said it is often difficult to get a 100% clean transition between certain types of tooling & the only real option is to sand
Z zero setting on tool changes needs to be 100% accurate for one thing, you can experiment with speed, feed & DOC settings which may help, cut direction is also something you can experiment with. It may be that the wood is moving with the amount you are removing with your clearance tool.

The kind of wood you are using can make a huge difference as well. Generally, the harder the wood the better the results. Also, if the cuts are not too deep, you might try an engraving bit with a .005 - .010 flat on the tip to help bridge the transition somewhat.

Pictures also help us diagnose problems as well as the file.
Just as close and crisp on a couple representative areas as you can for the details to be clear.
Welcome:)
