I am using carbide create

You can carve out the EST 2013 part by increasing your max depth to 0.25".

The toolpath will create a few spines on it that might look odd:

If you have a 1/16" or smaller endmill, you might get a nicer look for the main part with a pocket or inner profile toolpath?

For the main lines, you are cutting approx. 1/8" or so wide:

but for the β€œEST. 2013” text you are cutting much narrower, scarcely 1/32":

The latter text will be much more easily cut as a solid, rather than an outline:

which is accomplished by deleting the inner geometry:

That, is left as an exercise for the reader β€” simple matter of a Boolean subtraction and subsequent editing.
