Alternately, you could try a different font, or turn it sideways and cut it a little larger. Not sure what the finished product is intended to be.

Additionally, the 1/32" bit will take quite a while as you will be cutting a depth of .01" to .015" approximately per pass.

The way that I am finding it, the ‘detail pass’ will also do all cut outs and profile passes unless I am missing something? On a larger project this could become substantial.

Looking at the tip from that angle in the picture, it looks flat tipped and not to a point, which would explain what Phil was saying.

It does look like your machine has some mechanical issues too. Loose Z axis, Vwheels, or belts. As Robert suggested, do a complete mechanical check of it.
