Keith,
        the surface roughness values on a part built on the 1650 depends
primarily on certain factors like orientation of build, layer
thickness,etc. These are the 2 factors against which I am studying
surface roughness on 1650 parts.
        On the average the statistical surface roughness values on a
surface is in the range of 600 micro-in to 2100 micro-in (Ra) at 0.010"
layer thickness. Let me know if you need more info.
