Bit the bullet and purchased Vcarve Desktop

[MadHatter]

Diamond drag engraving was actually the reason I bought V-Carve. I created DDE bit profiles with different spacing and hatching so it is easier to use different hatching.

First time with diamond drag bit

I have had DDE bits for over a year now, but finally got around to using them.
