Advanced carve with lettering

I am wanting to write about 5 lines of text 4"x 6" .
I am doing it with a 60 degree bit it says it is going to take 4 hours. This seem to be a really ling tome for 5 lines of text .
Can anyone help me to shorten the time

Two things I’d look at:

  1. Set your retraction height as low as you can (<1/16") because a lot of time is usually wasted going up and down.
  2. Do a small scale test. If you are cutting very shallow letters, the default speeds and feeds might be excessively conservative (they were set for cuts that plunge much deeper). You could probably crank up the settings a good amount.
