I did all of this in Vcarve Desktop The render looked ok but when I tried to do it the first time it was either too deep on the zeroing or the wrong bit was selected I do not have a very good selection of vbits yet. I did the second version and backed the vbit off about .1 after zero then I hit a clamp and knocked it off. I decided to change the font just was not looking good to me. I told VCarve to cut with a 60 degree .5" vbit and used the small engraver bit to get the final product speeds and feeds were whatever it had in the system seemed to have no problem. I just really do not have faith in the reducer bushing with the Bosch Colt and slid the gantry back by hand before cutting the profile but after changing to the 1/4" spiral downcut I lined it up close to the start point and did an air cut - looked good and so I zero’d the bit and it cut out perfectly. A little clean up and painting this one will look good. I plan on making little tiles that hang on hooks for the spot above days on the left a perpetual calendar for the shows I sell at.
