Letters - Words

How can I carve letters and words, I can’t find a way, even if it’s in a straight line without the ups and downs that v-bits do.

if your meaning V carve thats not avaliable yet

I carve using a profile operation at present in MM, set cut to along line, finding the right text is the key at present , i use a very narrow text to get best results

as you can see bottom 3 fonts

are not clean done with a 60deg at 3 and 4 mm

top 2 are same narrow lettering , top is 90 deg at 3.5 mm

2nd line 60 deg at 4 mm deep

remember to H space lettering if you want gap between letters

I would use a Profile operation and a cutter with the tip geometry you’re looking for: Profile - MillMage Documentation

You could also try a fluting operation: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oAH1ZOkyXvM

We also support single-line fonts (SHX fonts, which you can find on the forum, and TTF single line fonts available here: https://www.singlelinefonts.com/)

Those would work with a narrow end, ball, or V mill, as a profile on the line.
