So I’m still practicing and learning. I’m using a .o3125 up cut. Is there any other bits or technique I can do, that will make this nicer and not cut out the numbers or glove? ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/8/0/8013f3659a9c4bd3d7ca4608a9d5cc83168ebc1f.jpeg) ---

It was a .png and did image trace on easel. Would an svg file turn out better? ---

The graphic is very low resolution for using any automatic solution. You would have to hand create all the paths using the graphic as a guide. Doing it that way will give you very nice results. inkscape is free ---

look around your neighborhood you can usually find old book shelves and things made out of pressed wood. Sometimes with them is MDF backboard or other useful bits. ---

would the 1/8" 20deg-V bit do a better job w/ a depth of .0625? and maybe avoid those tear-outs on the 9 and 6 by using the v-bit specially on 1/4" mdf ---

@SeanNaylor, dont be disheartened by a few not so good first attempts, yours look alot better than mine did, Mine went into the woodstove before the engraving bit even cooled down from the cutting. You are making good progress in the learning curve of this hobby Keep posting and as much as we can, we’ll keep helping. ---

Is this what your looking for. Granted this was done on V-Carve but I used a 60 dgree vbit and then cleaned up with .0625. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/1/7/17192d6a2c72ead2a472d5f61d6edc5b99216dc3.png) ---
