All depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go I suppose.

Changing the hard lumpy Chinese v-belt on my lathe to a Fenner linked belt made a big difference in the finishes I got after changing it. I still have to be vigilant with sharp tools and short stick-outs though.

I'll stop worrying about it, looks like me and Vinny have the same problem.
If I hand feed, no "waves".
Thanks for the replies folks, food for thought.

Cheers.
