I’m a complete novice and I’m using Carbide Create Pro to cut letters. I use a Contour tool path to quickly remove the wood but how do I preserve the center parts of letters like “O” and “D” and “A”? I frequently use a tab to hold the material but it seems more like a cheat and doesn’t always look clean. Is there a tutorial I could be directed to or a step by step instruction someone could give?
double sided tape is great for this but there is always a risk they break loose and when they do, they end up being torn a bit usually
also pro tip: if you really really want these bits… you can cut JUST those triangle/whatever parts out of some remaining scrap material and use these as replacements.

It’s not that I’m concerned about them breaking loose. It’s that I want to use something cleaner and more professional looking than a tab to hold those center parts of the letters.
double sided tape for during the cut
depending on your design, you could fill the inner part with transparent epoxy or something ?

Super glue and painters tape. Cheap and easy.
