Question on simulation view

[Gonefishing (Bob zambron)]

I have this USMC emblem created and was going to v carve it but the simulation looks awful. If I look at it from an angle it seems fine but straight on it’s not. What does a view like this tell you.

Looks like you’re trying to cut too wide an area with too narrow a tool.

Please see:

V carve + inside pocket?

I’m trying to understand how to use V carve along with a pocketing operation. For example I am wanting to V carve an entire sign but there are large areas that need to be pocketed, would I simply V carve along the lines and then perform an inside pocket after a tool change to a flat in endmill on the inside of the pocket area?

Excellent information, Will. I was just googling last night on how to accomplish something like this.
