Morning all, Charlie,

Hoping for some more guidance, I'm trying to V carve a name sign, it is essentially doing what i want but i'm hoping there is a way to "clean up" the bottom of the letter as well, pocket the whole letter.  Hopefully the pics will illustrate what I mean. 

I have a scheme on how it could be done by following up this V carve with an offset milling operation with a 1% stepover, it will take another hour but it looks like it will work.  

Is that the way?  Thanks in advance

Hi hegartype,

That's one way to do it! The other way is to use the Profile Milling operation instead, with a limited Cut Width and a small Stepover, so that you can instead use a 2D Milling operation to clear out most of the larger interior areas. This is demonstrated with the pirate V-carving project on the downloads page deftware.org/pages/downloads  and is the recommended way to go for V-carvings that have a lot of pocket area to clear.

Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else and have a good day! :]
