Shapeoko pro XXl Vcarve help

So I’m brand new to CNC and tried my first vcarve. used 60 degree bit. Help on why my project looks like this, edges of letters are not squared off


You are trying to cut an area wider than either the tool or the depth limit allows — does the cut match the 3D preview?

Options:

  • use a larger tool
  • allow the cut to cut sufficiently deep enough
  • use Advanced V carving instead

The cutout is matching the simulation view. When I change to advanced it looks better on simulation will try that out. FYI my stock is 3/4” and I had my depth set to .25”. Should it be more/less. Thank you

The max depth for a normal V carving should be set to the stock thickness — reduce if cutting all the way through is an issue.
