I was working on a reply in another thread, and in looking deeper into the “Texture” toolpath option in Carbide Create, I ended up running some experiments and examining the resulting G-code. Looking at the results of one of the experiments, it became clear what the “Min Depth” and “Max Depth” values in the “Texture” toolpath options actually mean. They’re the range of the maximum depth of each texture segment, not the actual minimum and maximum depths. Each texture segment’s actual Z depths range from the surface at the ends to a randomly selected maximum depth somewhere between the entered “Min Depth” and “Max Depth” values.
So, “Texture” toolpath option does not yield G-code suitable for diamond drag bit engraving.
