@Grendel - I got VCarve Desktop and have been tinkering with it for hours & hours.

I used a 20 degree single flute bit and it works on wood but does go much deeper than I need as I can't seem to control the cutting depth . I used a vcarve toolpath.
My aim is to vcarve in metal and am wondering if you could advise if I should use another toolpath or vbit?

The effect I'm going for is this:



VCarve didn't have the font Bookman Old Style but I added it easily.. so the font's there, I just can't get it to cut a nice v section.

In the vcarve toolpath, if I enter a small flat depth but still use an engraving bit (v), it mills alright but the depth is flat not v-shaped.

Sorry for the bother!

Thank you in advance.
