CNC engraving text in sterling silver

Hi All,



I'd like to cnc engrave text in this oval sterling silver piece.

I used the Draw Sold > Text option to create a solid text and then boolean difference to recess it into the metal.

I plan on using a V bit to engrave the text.

1. Which CAM software would you recommend for this? (Fusion 360 is not possible as it is now a paid software). I use a Mac.
2. How would I program it so the V bit cuts in the middle of the text, creating a single, V-shaped furrow? The font is Bookman Old style.

Thank you in advance!
Gunter
