Variable depths for the same word in carve

I’m trying to make a sign showing the same word carved at different depths. I set it up for that in tool paths, but I failed to get the different depths for each word as I had hoped I programed. Is this not possible;le?

Post your file here so we can see what is going on.

If you are using pockets, then yes you can get different depths.

If you are using VCarve, then the depth value is not how deep the carving is, it is an upper limit only. VCarve calculates the correct depth, so that the V Bit used just touches the design vectors, i.e., as deep as it can without going outside the lines.

If you set up the file as a V carve toolpath:

Then one will only get a difference in depth if the Max Depth is less than the depth to which the V carving tool carving would naturally cut.

So if one sets the cut depth less:

then the cut is around the perimeter:
