So I made a project on 1/2” Poplar and ran into a few issues. After engraving the fill of this logo with a 90 degree v bit, it left lots of path lines throughout the engraved surface. Secondly, it created dimples on some of the letters. See the back of the E for example. ![2BC455B8-AAC9-4D93-8757-86DF23085BA4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/9/1/91f86440558384b3824a69acf88eee1c784e4731.jpeg) ![136578D2-B72A-4D70-B8B1-A507E5145419](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/8/a/8a4575caff9e58b0718745120886e407a22732c7.jpeg) ![5B5EFDC1-9AA4-48F0-A004-92E989F8A557](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/8/f/8f8caeb63a31cfe74bf0139636370cad893fc642.jpeg) > This text will be hidden [/details] Lastly, is there a way to cut out something as fast as a v bit, but without the beveled edge from the bit? ---

What program was used? What was your step over? Did you run a finishing pass? Have you squared your machine? ---

What program was used? Easel Pro (trial) What was your step over? I didn’t see this setting. Does it go by something different on Easel? Did you run a finishing pass? No. I used a 90 degree v bit thinking that was the best possible but for smooth surfacing. Have you squared your machine? I have squared the spindle mount to the table. ---

It was Easel Pro and I used a 90 degree v bit. ---

And still they want to charge for it… ---

Second Phil - Easel has its advantages and disadvantages…Yes pro costs money and there are some bugs, but @Zach_Kaplan & Inventables has a rock solid team and will work through them as long as we make them aware of the issues in a positive manner. Hang in there! ---

You pay for for it. Not beta test. The bugs outweigh the positives it seems. ---

True, true - not trying to down play the issues just trying to be optimistic ---

I just wonder if there is something I can do to make the file project run better. I would be able to sell a dozen of these if I can get the settings altered to not leave these grooves.
