    Tried to VCarve this today and it looks really bad! Using F-Engrave and Chilipeppr! Anyone else have this issue? Machine OxMetal!

    Were you using a V bit? It looks like you were possibly using a square endmill. V carving varies the height of the bit to create square corners. Also, what font were you using?

    What was it supposed to look like? Do you have a graphics file? I have had great luck with Fengrave.
